Men’s Club Championship

Thrilling From Start To Finish

Always a hit with KPGCC members, the annual Club Champ William Cheah flanked by GM Tang and Golf Committee Chairman
Championships brought together golf enthusiasts for some riveting Ng Say Hoe
golfing action in the month of May.

The highly-anticipated Men’s Club Championship was played
from May 13-15, just a week after the Senior and Ladies
Championships. It featured 108 of the club’s most talented golfers
eager to take to the fairways and give it their best shot.

The event, which was played based on Strokeplay format,
saw the golfers teeing off on a pleasant morning as they showed
off their golfing aptitude around KPGCC’s gorgeously-maintained
course.

It was 5-handicapper William Cheah who eventually claimed
the champion’s trophy – and the ‘Green Jacket’ – with a three-day
gross total of 232. In second place was Jimmy Chia Kee Joo, who
was three strokes behind, while Foo Hwa Peng settled for third
place with a score of 237.

Meanwhile in the Nett category, it was 11-handicapper
Chew Kek Kuen who clinched pole position, carding a three-day
score of 216. In second spot was Charlie Lau Thean Chye, three
points behind, while third place went to Wong Yuen Teck,
who scored 222.

The prize presentation ceremony on the 18th green saw the
Men’s, Senior and Ladies Champions being presented with their
customary green jackets, made even more special by the
presence of good friends and fellow golfers who were on hand to
cheer on the winners.

Congratulations to all the Champions – we look forward to
another sensational edition next year!
