Kuala Lumpur: Following through on their involvement with the game of golf in Malaysia, Chang, the official beverage of the CIMB Asia Pacific Classic, Malaysia teed off The Chang Inter Club 2011 recently.

The amateur golf circuit, which teed off at Glenmarie Golf & Country Club on July 24 will see ten legs being organised nationwide where the top two players from each leg will join their Thai counterparts for the Chang Golf Day at The Royal Gems Golf & Sports Club in Bangkok on October 8.

The inaugural leg at Glenmarie, which was played simultaneously with the club’s Captain Trophy competition, saw two ladies – Lai Pik Chun (14) and Yong Siew Khim (19) – topping the standings and earning the right to represent Glenmarie GCC at the Bangkok finale.

Meanwhile, in the second qualifying leg at Bukit Jalil Golf & Country Club on July 30, 11-handicapper Victor Soh fired a respectable three-over-par 75 to win the gross title by a single stroke over Tan Liong Hee (7) and Sin Kok Mun (6).
In the nett category, Ng Hoi Phing (18) blazed the course with a round of 62 nett to defeat Leong Yoke Mun (24) by one shot.

Although the players compete individually in the qualifying round, the finalists will represent their respective club as a team when they compete for the Chang Inter Club championship in Bangkok.

The inaugural edition of the Chang Inter Club 2011 is supported by Thai Airways, Tourism Authority of Thailand and TaylorMade-adidas Golf Malaysia and TeeTimes.
