World Team – CANADA

Anthony Goertz - World Team Captain

Anthony’s hopes that the third time is the charm as he competes in his third consecutive World Championship. One of the steadiest players in the game, Anthony is highly regarded on a team that expects to give the Americans a run for their money this year. His favorites places to play Golden Tee are The Press Box and Original’s, where he enjoys a cold Moosehead between shots.

Anthony echoes many of his fellow players by saying his favorite feature of Golden Tee are the great players he meets wherever he plays.

An 8-handicapper on the real links, Pony is a straight palmer when spinning the trackball. When asked his thoughts about this year’s World Championship, he responded, “It’s just as big a thrill as the first time around!”

Nick Feijo

A rookie on the formidable Canadian team, Nick enjoys playing Golden Tee at this favorite pub, Sharkey’s Entertainment, where you can find him most nights sipping a Blue Light. Playing at least 15 hours each week has kept Nick’s skills honed to a razor’s edge. When he isn’t playing Golden Tee, Nick enjoys gambling – especially poker.

Nick says that the best part of Golden Tee is the friends he’s made through the sport, and is looking forward to competing in Orlando. “I am very happy and am looking forward to a great experience,” he said.

Tim Glenn

Tim is regarded as one of the top players in the world and is competing in his third consecutive World Championship. Tim has been the World Team’s captain each year and is noted for his keen sense of strategy in slotting his players against the appropriate American.

Original’s in Toronto is Tim’s favorite Golden Tee location and he enjoys a cold Molson Canadian when playing.

Last year’s runner-up to champion, Chris Eversole, Tim hopes to come out on top this time. “Second place was nice,” he said. “First would be better. But I’m just happy to be here hanging out with all the guys.”

Jarrett Keele

JD arrives from the West to round out Team Canada. The winner of numerous tournaments in the Calgary area and a veteran of the World Championship, JD brings experience to a World Squad that is hungry for victory.

JD plays most of his Golden Tee at Fox and Hounds and drinks Keith’s between spins of the trackball. His girlfriend, Taiya, is supportive on his GT playing – as long as he’s winning – and he describes his playing style as a combination of both thumbs and palms.

When asked what he thought about making Team Canada again this year, JD said, “It was great fun last year, and I’m looking forward to spending some time in Florida with everyone.”

Riaan Lesch

Riaan Lesch has become one of South Africa’s most recognizable Golden Tee players not only for his first-rate ability, but also as the driver of the Golden Tee Car.

Hailing from Bellville, Cape Town, with his wife, Elana, when Riaan is not rolling 18-holes at his local pub, he enjoys golfing outside on any of South Africa’s gorgeous courses. Riaan has also become a friendly face in GT chat rooms around the world where he picks up tips and tricks to better his game.

“I’ve been chatting with players all around the world,” Riaan said. “I am looking forward to putting some faces with the names. I am hoping to learn a lot and I am honored to represent my country in the event,” he added.
