Emerio Golf Challenge, 2010
Venue: Tropicana Golf and Country Resort
Emerio Malaysia’s first friendly Golf Challenge was held on Feb 6, 2010 at the Tropicana Golf and Country Resort. The resort boasts a championship 27-hole golf course set in a beautiful landscaped gated community in Tropicana, Bandar Utama.
25 players, made up of clients and friends of Emerio, participated in this inaugural event and a beautiful, sunny day contributed very much to its success.
It was a great honor that Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, the CEO of Multimedia Corporation (MDeC), could take some time out from his busy schedule to grace this event.
The day wasn’t just about the golf either - it started with Jean Daniels, a world renowned long drive specialist, performing a “tricks and tips” session which was hugely entertaining and caught many golfers by surprise, especially those watching his show for the first time!
Tee off was at 7:45, with the players divided into 7 flights. The scoring system was Stableford 36, played over the Eastern 1 and Western 3 course. Jon Whittington from T-Systems emerged as the overall winner. The runners up were Mohd Fuad from MDeC and Nasaruddin Zaini, from Telekom Malaysia Berhad, coming in second and third respectively. Mohd Fuad also won the Nearest to Pin Competition. The other winners were Chong Ooi Cheng from Dell, who won the Nearest to Line Competition and Fitri Abdullah from Maxis Berhad, who won the Longest Drive Competition.
It was a stroke of luck that Jon and Nasaruddin were in the same flight and together with Michael Warren, they won the title of Winners - Best Flight. The combination of Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, Dato’ Dr. Zawawi Ismail, Collin Lazaroo and Bobby Choonavala of Emerio emerged as Runner up - Best Flight.
At the end of play, everyone chit-chatted over lunch and got a chance to mingle and swap name cards and golf stories. Bobby Choonavala, the Chairman to Emerio Advisory Board and Stephen Aranha, MD Emerio Malaysia, presented the trophies to the winners. Datuk Badlisham was also presented with a memento of the day.
The event was a great success. It provided an ideal mix of camaraderie and great sporting action. We hope to make it a regular occurrence in Emerio’s calendar.
