A good walk spoiled
Only recently, the 9th edition of the Engineering Newcomer Challenge has started, a design competition that we are supporting, including free student licenses for our software. At Zuken, however, we not only support young engineering talent but are also involved in the local golf club for youth and men's teams. I met Julian Wuttke, the team manager of the 1st men's team of the Golf Club Herzogenaurach, for an interview where we talked about youth development at the club, his passion for golf, and his goals in the second national league.
