The SGA Masters Invitational 2014 was held on Sunday, 4 May 2014 at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort. This year’s tournament attracted the participation of 68 golfers from vendors and users alike, with each one eyeing to become the champion in their respective categories.
Golfers started to flock Tropicana Golf Wing as early as 11am for registration. They proceeded with lunch which was served until 1pm. A group photo session was conducted at 1.20pm. By this time, all the golfers were very eager to start the game. The format of the tournament is Stableford System 36 (Shotgun). The weather was excellent at the time they teed off. However, halfway into the tournament, rain clouds gathered. Light showers started falling but it stopped after 15 minutes. Just when golfers thought that it was over, it started raining heavily. Anyway, the tournament proceeded although the downpours proved to be quite a distraction. Thank goodness, the lightning awareness system did not go off. The last flight finished at around 6.40pm.
While the tired but happy golfers went to the changing room to refresh themselves, Tropicana officials were consolidating the scorecards and worked on the final results. The much awaited prize giving ceremony started at 7.30pm whilst dinner was served. The champion for Medal A (User Category) was Encik Azlan Rashid from Affin Bank and Medal B (Vendor Category) was Mr. Goh Peng Ooi from Silverlake.
All in all, it was a successful event with all golfers enjoying themselves. A very big thank you to all our golf sponsors for this year namely ISA Technologies, ECS Astar, Dimension Data, Powerware Systems, Compuware, InsiteMY Systems and Avnet Solutions. See you again next year!
