Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here John Deere charter flight to Scotland. It’s a whole big thing, ya know? These fellas, they play that golf game, and they gotta get over to Scotland for another one.
So, the folks from that John Deere Classic, they done went and got themselves a big ol’ airplane. A real whopper, I tell ya. And they fill it up with these golf fellas, a whole bunch of ’em. Sixty, they say! That’s a lot of folks in one place, even for a big plane, I reckon.
Now, why Scotland? Well, they got another golf game over there, the Scottish Open, they call it. And these fellas, they wanna play in both, see? But gettin’ there ain’t easy, no sir. It’s a long ways away, and findin’ a plane that goes straight there? Nearly impossible, they say. You gotta go all over the place first, changin’ planes and such. A real headache, if ya ask me.
- So this John Deere thing, it’s a real lifesaver for these golf fellas.
- They just finish up their game here in the States, and boom!
- They hop on this plane and it takes ’em right over to Scotland.
- No fuss, no muss, just straight there.
I heard tell it’s a real fancy plane, too. The kind the sports teams use, all comfortable and such. Not like them sardine cans they usually fly in, I betcha. These fellas, they gotta be rested up to play their best, ya know. Can’t be all cramped up and tired.
They started doin’ this a few years back, I think. And it’s been a real game changer, they say. More fellas wanna come play in the John Deere now, ’cause they know they can get over to Scotland easy-like. It’s good for the town, too. Brings in lots of folks, spendin’ their money and such. Keeps things lively, ya know?
It ain’t cheap, though. Rentin’ a whole airplane, that’s gotta cost a pretty penny. But the John Deere folks, they figure it’s worth it. Gets ’em good publicity, and makes the players happy. Happy players play better, I reckon, and that’s good for everyone.
This whole thing started outta Davenport, Iowa, they say. That’s where they fly from, over to Edinburgh, Scotland. Edinburgh, that’s a big city over there, I heard. Lots of old buildings and such. Probably real pretty, if ya like that kinda thing. Me, I’m happy right here, but these golf fellas, they like to travel, I guess.
One fella, Mark Calcavecchia, he saw the good in this right away. Smart fella, I guess. He knew it’d make things a whole lot easier. And he was right. Now all these other fellas, they’re thankin’ their lucky stars for this here John Deere plane.
So, that’s the story of the John Deere charter flight to Scotland. It’s a big deal for these golf fellas, and it’s a good thing for the town, too. It just goes to show ya, sometimes ya gotta think outside the box, ya know? And sometimes, ya just gotta rent a big ol’ airplane to get things done.
And let me tell ya, them fellas playin’ golf, they’re somethin’ else. Whackin’ that little ball all over the place, tryin’ to get it in that little hole. Seems like a lot of work to me, but they seem to enjoy it. And if this here John Deere plane helps ‘em do their thing, well then, I reckon that’s alright.
It’s all about makin’ things easier, ya see? And that’s what this charter flight does. Gets them fellas where they need to go, without all the hassle. And that’s a good thing, in my book.
So next time ya hear about the John Deere Classic, ya remember this here story. Remember the big airplane and the sixty golf fellas flyin’ all the way to Scotland. It’s a funny ol’ world, ain’t it? But sometimes, it’s the funny things that make it interesting.
