Fabulous Finish

Inaugural RHB Premier Cards Series concludes with well-received grand finale at Glenmarie

The inaugural RHB Premier Cards Golf Series came to fitting conclusion with a highly-lauded Grand Final at Glenmarie Golf & Country Club in Selangor on November 21.

A total of 80 finalists gathered and competed for honours at Glenmarie, comprising the top finishers from four preliminary rounds at Penang Golf Club (October 17), Glenmarie itself (October 24), Horizon Hills Golf & Country Club, Johor (October 31) and Kota Permai Golf & Country Club, Selangor (November 14). To qualify for the series, RHB Premier Cardmembers had to spend a minimum of RM10,000 from July 22 to September 30 using their cards

After a great day of golf at Glenmarie’s Valley Course, prizes were presented to the top 20 golfers (pic above) during the dinner presentation. Azmir Othman, who qualified from Glenmarie preliminary round, showed his mastery again by emerging champion after signing in a System 36 Stableford score of 38 points. “The event was really well-organized and I’m looking forward to playing next year again,” said a joyful Azmir, who won a handsome Titoni watch.

Glenmarie preliminary round winner MD Zaini Mohd Ladzim (19) settled for second place this time around, edging Hew May Fong on countback after both came back with 38 points.

The hole-in-one prize offered for the Grand Final was a 7-day 5-night golf package to the ‘Home of Golf’, St Andrews in Scotland, but unfortunately there were no takers. There were five novelty prizes and no less than 20 lucky draw prizes, with Ng Eng Swee emerging as the winner of the special lucky draw prize of a 3-day 2-night golf package to Jakarta.

Elvy Kassim, Head, Cards and Unsecured Business, RHB Bank Berhad (pix 3rd left) was happy with the success of the event and when asked what can cardholders expect from next year’s event, she said: “We have not finalized on the number of legs for next year but we may even look at possibility of extending the Series to other states and possibly having the Grand Final overseas. Next year’s event will definitely offer more prizes and an even better overall experience.”
