Known as “Probably the Smoothest Golf Tournament” to hit the range, the Carlsberg Golf Classic 2022 came to an end on Oct 28.
An exhilarating day for all the guests, the must-attend event for amateur golfers saw more than 3,800 avid golfers from 32 participating clubs taking part in the competition nationwide, before finalists converged at the award-winning Kota Permai Golf & Country Club.
Through calm weather, the tournament finals saw 60 players taking on the course, with fierce competition among the frontrunners.
At the end, Gwee Li Jun scored 70 to win the Gross title and Mohd Hisham scored 68 to clinch the Nett title.
On top of walking away with a Garmin Approach S62 smartwatch and beautiful Titoni Slenderline Quartz timepiece respectively, both also received an exclusive invitation to play at the World Amateur Golfers Championship (WAGC) 2022 happening on Nov 16 November at the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club.
“I hardly join golf tournaments, but when I do, I play to win. I’ve been playing golf since I was young and it has been 19 years for me. I certainly enjoyed myself during this tournament and plan to participate in future Carlsberg Golf Classics,” Gwee said.
For Hisham, it was his first time successfully making his way to the Carlsberg Golf Classic national finals.
“I feel really happy to have won and would like to thank Carlsberg for organising and sponsoring everything. I also look forward to playing again in the years to come,” he said.
Along with the major wins, and a first in the history of the Carlsberg Golf Classic, Wonder Chang nailed an incredible hole-in-one that left spectators wide-eyed at the feat they witnessed. With the bragging rights, Chang further received an “Adidas Dress Like A Pro” outfit set worth RM2,000.
“Golf is about competing with yourself and having fun and I look forward to participating again next time,” said Chang, who further commended how well-organised the tournament was.
Acknowledging how the tournament was another huge success, Carlsberg Malaysia Managing Director Stefano Clini explained that the 27th edition of the Carlsberg Golf Classic did what it set out to do; celebrate sportsmanship, skill and the winners.
“With the ongoing support from the golfing community in Malaysia, we are game to make Carlsberg Golf Classic bigger and better in the years to come,” Clini said.
Clini also introduced the first edition of Carlsberg Golf Festival, an “after-party” of sorts that the company believes will elevate the experience for everyone that shares in the love of the annual competition.
Activities during the festival such as Hot Air Balloon rides, “The Smoothest Putt Challenge”, “Mini Neon Golf”, Giant Jenga and other activities entertained guests and championship participants late into the evening as they also responsibly indulged in Carlsberg and non-alcoholic refreshments
