MALAYSIAN GOLF AWARDS 2016

RSGC NOMINATED FOR BEST MAINTAINED GOLF COURSE CATEGORY

We are pleased to announce that RSGC was nominated in the Best Maintained Golf Course Category for the Malaysian Golf Awards 2016. Course Superintendent Jack Cheong received the award on behalf of the Club during the event held on May 21 at Templer Park Country Club. Organised by ParGolf in collaboration with the Malaysian Golf Association (MGA), the presentation ceremony was staged in conjunction with the Malaysian Amateur Open at the Templer Park Country Club.

The Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club, The Els Club Teluk Datai, Kota Permai Golf & Country Club and Palm Garden Golf Club were also nominated.

“As the governing body of golf in Malaysia, the MGA is keen to recognise achievements in golf across all aspects of the industry. The Malaysian Golf Awards gives us the chance to do so and we hope that this will spur golfers, golf clubs and everyone involved in the industry to greater heights,” said MGA president Tan Sri Dato’ Setia Mohd Anwar Mohd Nor.

A total of 19 awards were presented in 16 categories to recipients from all facets of the golf industry, from the professional game, elite amateurs and juniors to coaches, golf clubs and corporate sponsors.

The Malaysian Golf Awards is Malaysia’s only industry-wide golf awards, recognising deserving individuals and organisations that have excelled in the various aspects of the golf industry. The selection of award winners was based on voting by a 50-strong panel comprising MGA committee members, ParGolf personnel and selected golf industry personalities, except for the Special Awards where the winners were selected by ParGolf.

Recently, the vote for the 2015 Platinum Clubs® of the World was conducted. Our International Panel, comprised of 100 Private Club experts, historians and golf connoisseurs spent over 30 days completing their confidential Ballot, which included 630 Private Clubs from 58 Countries.

The Clubs that secured the most votes are published and recognized as the Top 100 Platinum Clubs® of the World 2015. The next 75 Clubs received an Honorable Mention and are published alphabetically as Candidates for the 2017 vote. We are delighted to inform you that Royal Selangor Golf Club received sufficient votes to receive an Honorable Mention. In simple terms, this equates to your Club being one of the Top 175 Private Golf and Country Clubs in the World 2015.

RSGC Voted as Top 175 Private Golf and Country Clubs in the World 2015.

Often compared to the “Michelin Star” of the Private Club Industry, Platinum Clubs® of the World has become the most respected recognition of Private Clubs around the globe. Following in the footsteps of the Platinum Clubs® of America, the pre-eminent Club recognition in the United States established by Club Leaders Forum 20 years ago, Platinum Clubs® of the World provides Private Clubs from every golfing country the opportunity to benchmark against each other.

When casting their votes, the Panel were asked to consider the Criteria listed below. The Panel ranked each Club they had visited and points were awarded accordingly. The total points for each Club was then divided by the number of voters to establish a total points score. These scores were then used to rank The Platinum Clubs® of the World, from 1 – 100 and to establish the 75 Honorable Mentions and Candidates for 2017. The vote was conducted by a third party and the results certified as true and correct.

Please accept our sincere congratulations on your Club being elected into the Top 175 Platinum Clubs® of the World. We will contact you in the New Year to explain the many benefits of your Platinum recognition.
