CHAIRMAN’S TROPHY

The Chairman’s Trophy returned on Saturday, 4 March 2023 after a 5-year hiatus and is the first Trophy event under current Club Chairman Kelvin Chia’s leadership.

This prestigious event has always been a highlight on the Club’s annual calendar of events and it was no different this time round. Demand was so huge that all available slots were snapped up within mere days. The previous winner of this highly coveted event was Mr. Sam Tan in April 2018. While the weather was not at its most optimum early on, this did not do anything to dampen the mood of the those who had eagerly awaited this day. From the outset, it was clear that everyone arrived in good spirits and ready to put forth their best effort. Another advantageous fact was that the individual stableford format gave everyone an equal chance at the coveted title. With Club Chairman Kelvin Chia leading the pack out into the field, everyone persevered through the cold and wet weather, and buggy on track conditions. Everyone’s determination was rewarded with beautiful cooling weather and the tournament was completed without further interruptions.

The players were then treated to a scrumptious post-game western dinner hosted by Emcee Bernard Lim whilst being serenaded with familiar classic tunes by the Club’s Resident Tuesday Band - Chillin’ @ 6. The competition was keenly contested but Mr Wong Cheng Ho edged past his nearest competitor Club Hon. Sec Mr Leow Kim Keat, by Official Count Back (OCB) and proudly lifted the 2023 edition of the Chairman’s Trophy. The top 5 players of the men’s and ladies’ division walked away with attractive prizes too. In the grand lucky draw, 40 members also took home attractive prizes such as a Dolce Gusto coffee machine, SMEG Kettle and Lenovo Tablet!
