CIMB Group in Singapore recently held its CIMB Preferred Golf Challenge 2016 at the Sentosa Golf Club. Exclusivel­y for CIMB Preferred clients, the winner of the Singapore CIMB Preferred Golf Challenge would win a rare opportunit­y to play alongside some of the world’s top golfers at the CIMB Classic Pro-am Competitio­n at the Tournament Players Club (“TPC”) Kuala Lumpur (formerly Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club). This would be in addition to being hosted to attend the CIMB Classic from 20 – 23 October 2016.

Played on The Serapong course, 121 golfers had the opportunit­y to tackle the wonderful smooth and slick greens on a cloudy overcast day. Participan­ts looked forward to the chance to avail themselves of trying to win the grand Hole-in-one prize of an Audi A4 1.4 TFSI worth S$162,000 (excluding COE, insurance and all other fees & taxes). Failing that, they had further Hole-in-one chances to win a Buben & Zorweg watch winder worth S$41,000 and a Philip Stein Prestige 18K Rose Gold men’s watch worth S$30,238. Guests were also treated whilst on the course to whiskey tasting, food stations serving up yummy hot dogs; curry puffs, and a host of other snacks to complement their day out.

However, the weather was not as good as one would have hoped as a lightning delay stopped play after 3 holes. After an hour’s delay, play resumed and the players eagerly went back out to pit themselves against the field for the wonderful prizes on hand. But the skies turned unfriendly
