With deep sorrow and loving memory, we bid farewell to our valued friend and long-time colleague Ralf Niesing, who passed away after a long, difficult illness borne with infinite patience. He leaves a void that will be very hard to fill.
Ralf dedicated his life to the company and was a role model for all of us. For more than two decades, he significantly shaped our company with his extraordinary dedication and passion for our shared projects. His devotion and expertise were invaluable and were instrumental in making our brands BIG MAX and Zoom what they represent today.
Through his exemplary leadership, Ralf inspired not only our employees but also our customers time and again. He embodied everything our company stands for: perfection, ambition, and above all, a love for the game of golf.
Beyond his professional expertise and immense knowledge of golf, Ralf stood out above all as a person. He was always helpful, patient, and had an open ear for everyone. His colleagues valued him for his warm-hearted nature, his honesty, and his ability to bring out the best in everyone.
With his passing, we lose not only a companion but above all a friend who will be missed by all of us. The memories of our shared moments will always be with us, reminding us of how much he shaped our company.
In memory of Ralf, we wish to continue his legacy together and lead the company successfully in his spirit, with the same passion for golf that he exemplified.
Our deepest condolences go to his wife Doro, his son Mika, and all his family.
Ralf, you enriched us not only professionally but also personally. Thank you for the time we shared – we will always keep you in our fondest and most loving memory.
Rest in peace, dear friend.
Thomas Reiter and family, and the entire Golf Tech team
