SANTUBONG: The Damai Golf and Country Club (DGCC) is looking forward to a good response for the inaugural Triple Achievers Medallion golf tournament on Jan 31.

All club members are invited to participate in the event which replaces the previous Monthly Medal competitions.

DGCC general manager Roslan Mohd Salle is expecting the new event to attract more members in view of the new format in deciding the gross and nett champions.

The format, he added, will enable members to have a shot at winning the overall club’s champion title and earn bragging rights to represent DGCC at any club-side golf championship locally and outside Sarawak.

The one-day event is among the highlights in the club’s 2016 calendar of events which include the much awaited DGCC’s Team Match Play Open Championship, the Sarawak Senior Masters, 9th Sarawak Masters Golf Championship and Sarawak’s leg of Malaysia’s biggest amateur golf competition – the Astro Masters Golf Championship.

For this month alone, DGCC had already hosted the Inter-Team Media Social Group tournament which attracted 114 golfers, the D’Jango Ballsweep and the Damai Waves Championship.

“We are expecting a lot of entries for our Matchplay Team Event and to start off with, the pre-match play tournament will be held from February 6- 9 in which all of the participating teams are coming to test their mettle before the event proper tees off in May,” Roslan said.
