18-YEAR OLD CREATES HISTORY AND BRINGS HONOR TO COLLEGE AND HOME CLUB

Chan Kai Vernn Has Set A New Benchmark

Tunku Abdul Rahman College (TARC) student, Chan Kai Vernn made his college proud by becoming the youngest golfer to win in the country’s longest and biggest amateur golf tournament. The Carlsberg Golf Classic had an exciting finish in the gross event at Kelab Golf Sg Petani on 3rd August with Vernn winning it by a four stroke margin from the runner-up. It also marked a remarkable year for Vernn to create history to become the youngest golfer to clinch victory at 18 years 2 months of age.

Father and Son

“It feels pretty good,” Vernn said of his victory and took home a Sharp 32 inch LED Television and a Trophy for his golden effort. He qualifies automatically to play in the national finals in December represent his golf club. “I had a strong gut feeling that I was going to win and it happened,” continued Vernn who started golf at age 5.

Vernn hopes that more teenagers would pick up golf and Junior Golf can be developed further not only at his home club but across the country too. Supportive of the idea was T.M. Sachithanantham, the Chairman of Kelab Golf Sg Petani.

Receiving Prize From Carlsberg's Lim Eng Wah At Sg Petani Golf Club

“I don’t doubt his golfing skills. He’s our champion and by doing so brought honor to our club. After seeing his performance, I’m inspired to promote junior golf further at Kelab Golf Sg Petani. Golf is the only activity that brings us all together,” said a happy Sachithanantham who lectures at the Teachers Training College in Jitra, Kedah.

Ponderosa Golf Club Manager (left) Ivan Ho with Carlsberg's Terrence

Sharing the same sentiments was Ivan Ho, the general manager of Ponderosa Golf Club. He believes a good driving range and a good golf teaching pro must work in tandem in order to promote the game to Juniors. “The golf pro must be friendly to the young children. There are many families living nearby and we can make golf as a family sport at Ponderosa. Many parents are adamant in sending their children over during the school holidays. We started one program in early March and it was very supportive. Currently the junior program is headed by Pro Vali,” concluded Ivan who plans to get the new driving range in operation coming June 2015.

The most recent Carlsberg Golf Classic preliminary (leg number tenth) was played at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club on 9th August. In his thank you speech, Henrik Juel Anderson, managing director of Carlsberg Marketing at KLGCC thanked the generosity and kindness of all the 120 participants.

“This year we aimed to raise over RM120,000 and these contributions will be channeled to selected charity homes across Malaysia to help subsidise their utility bill support and petrol costs for a year. We hope this support can improve their lives. On behalf of Carlsberg, thank you everyone for being here today. It is truly appreciated. Cheers!”

Winners at KLGCC

Three charity homes were selected and presented respectively with RM10,000 each at KLGCC. Carlsberg extends a special Thank You to official partners Mercedes-Benz, Sharp, Liberty Golf Services, Titoni, FootJoy, TaylorMade, Ogawa, Brother, Dalmore, ParGolf, Listerine, Gatorade and Sunplay.

Secrets To Great Bunkers

There are a total of 38 bunkers at Samarahan Country Club, Kuching, Sarawak. Here Raviandran talks about the secrets to great bunkers as the club prepares to host the Samarahan Open 2014.

Meet Augustine

Everyone must emulate "Uncle Augustine". At 80 years old the Samarahan Country Club member from Kuching, Sarawak is full of life. When I left the golf club, I was nearly in tears and I told him that we should have met early in life. He believes in fate. The oldest golfer at Samarahan CC who believes that hardwork and honesty is vital for one to prosper in life. God bless this man and I hope he will have a long life and good health too.

Hole 13 - Feirish Nor Shoots An Eagle

Feirish Nor, Malaysia's number one junior shot an eagle at Samarahan Country Clubs Hole 13 during the Faldo Junior Series. At 363 meters the hole is challenging for long hitters and has large generous fairways. The greens are guarded well by bunkers. Short iron play is key to success. Long putts can be a daunting task.

Filipino Singer

I like the Filipinos. Why? Because they are talented in music. They sing and play the music instruments well. Here a teenager comes to my dinner table and requested for funds to help an orphanage. Although I knew it was a scam but I graciously offered her some money for her to sing and at the same time to capture this moment on video.

Liberty Golf Services Paves The Way!

Consistency is what sets the people at the top of their field apart from everyone else. Ng Eu Shen of Liberty Golf Services knows those words too well and it's inscribe deep within his heart. And every leader will know this secret.

I have known Eu Shen for close to 6 years now. I still remember the words of his dad, Simon Ng when he said few words on his son (during the wedding dinner).

"My son has been working with me for now 8 years now. The best part he likes golf very much. This is one of the profession that suits him very well. His capabilities and academic qualifications and with his superb networking skills, my son will be able to bring Liberty Golf Services to another level," said Simon.

The message from Eu Shen is simple and been grateful for those who have supported him. "Guys thank you so much for supporting Liberty Golf Services!"

Probably the number one Travel & Golf Companies in the country. And it's Consistency that sets Liberty Golf Services as a "leaders" from the followers.

End.

How I Became A Well-Known Video Journalist? I Followed Jack London!

There's no telling how far you can go in life. 

Jack London is a perfect example of that. Jack was a dock worker among the roughest ports of the early 1900s America. That dock breed spoke illiterate English that was crude and unrefined. Jack London was just that – an illiterate dock worker. 

He lived off the streets. He never had any kind of opportunity. He was headed for a dead-end life. 

Except ... 

Jack had a burning desire. He had a burning desire to become a successful writer. He had no chance though. For starters he was a "nobody" dock worker. Second: He was illiterate, remember. 

But Jack London did something anyone can do. He identified the main skills he'd need to master to become the writer he wanted to be. 

Those skills were intended to pull Jack up from the lowly job of a dock worker to an author of 
fiction books - and they were: 

1) Reading 

2) Intense grammar study 

3) Self-education (a library study program) 

4) Writing. 

He did those 4 "main skills" before and after his 12-hour dock work. 

What happened? What happened is this: 

Jack London went on to write many best selling novels including:  Call of the Wild, The Sea Wolf 
and Martin Eden.

But that's not all ... 

Adjusting for inflation - Jack London is one of the highest paid authors of all time. He went from illiterate dock-worker to one of the highest paid authors of all time by establishing the main 
skills around his burning desire, and then working on them every day. 

Anyone can do what Jack London did. Anyone can have a burning desire to do something with their life. And everyone can "chunk down" the main skills of the dream they want to accomplish. 

And you got it: 

Everyone can find time around their existing job or responsibilities to concentrate on developing and 
mastering their identified main skills. 

Then it's just a matter of consistency. Doing them day, after day, after day. That's what Jack London did. And, as you now know, he went from illiterate dock worker to one of the highest paid authors of all time. 

So:

What are the main skills you need to master to get you to the level you want to be at? 

Just identify them first. Then schedule in time every day to work on them. Maybe all you have is an hour to spare each day, maybe less. 

That's okay. Just start with the time you have. Because the secret is in the consistency. Consistency is what sets the people at the top of their field apart from everyone else.

RAVINDRAN - A MAN WITH A MISSION

A man like Ravindran is a man of attitude. When he puts his heart, mind and soul to a project, there is only one direction and that is to take flight upwards to the stars. 

I am happy for his recent promotion which he obtained. I knew this day would come sooner or later. It happened on 1st July, 2014 at the Samarahan Country Club.

It easy to spot Ravi from a distance,  just look out for his "cowboy hat" a special identity which he created over the years even when I knew him back in Kuala Lumpur.

“Ravi has set some excellent performances. After 17-months he managed the club well and brought it to tournament standards. It was only fitting for the Management Committee to reward him with this new title,” said Brian Chien, the President of Samarahan Country Club.

Ravi joined Samarahan on 1st February 2013 after leaving the Malaysian Golf Association (MGA) back in 2012. With the guidance of the Management Committee, Ravi has managed to streamline the management aspects of The Sarawak Club Golf Resort for Samarahan Country Club (a take over which took place on 1st July 2014).

When asked him about his new position, he put it humbly: “Success is an Attitude. It’s not about me alone. It was teamwork. I received great support and cooperation and this allowed us to hit our target. I am grateful to everybody at Samarahan Country Club who believed in me. From my heart, I say thank you to all of you. It’s an honour to be in Sarawak, particular in the Samaharan District. I will assist the locals in whatever manner I can and together we will work hard on improving the standard of golf management,” Ravindran said happily.

Ravindran’s career in golf took flight in 1985 when he was appointed as Administrative Assistant at the Senior Golfers Society. Two years later, he was promoted as the Administrator, before becoming Manager from 1990 until 2004 when he took up the post of Senior Manager at the MGA before being promoted in 2006 as the Deputy General Manager. His hard work and selfless commitment to the association saw him achieve the General Manager’s post in 2008, a post which he held until 2012.

SAMARAHAN OPEN @ “BRIAN CHIEN CHAI UNG "CHALLENGE TROPHY

The 4th Edition of the Samarahan Open also fondly known as the “Brian Chien Chai Ung Challenge Trophy” will be played at the Samarahan Country Club, in Kuching, Sarawak from 12 to 14 September 2014.

The golf tournament was implemented in 2011 and played over 36 holes but in 2012 it was increased to 54 holes. In 2013 it received the blessings and sanctioning from the Malaysian Golf Association (MGA) and even making headlines when it was included into the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) monitored by R & A Ltd, the governing body of golf. As a matter of fact, this is the second tournament in Sarawak to be accorded with the WAGR status, the other being the Sarawak Amateur Open.

Lee Ka Tung from Sibu Golf Club who is ranked as the number one amateur golfer from Sarawak is looking forward for his third win. He won the event twice in 2011 and 2012 but in 2013 he was edged narrowly by Lau Ching Leong by one stroke margin.

The Championship is open to all male golfers with an NHS Index of 12.9 (14 handicap & below). The Entrance fee is RM300.00 and inclusive of one practice round (excluding buggy fees), breakfast, lunch, buggy fees (for 3 days) and goodies. Cars and cash are at stake for Hole-In-One achievers. Other off-course activities during the tournament include golf equipment demos, golf clinics for beginners and a Lucky Draw worth RM15,000.00.

To enhance the level of play for this year, the Tournament Committee has set the handicap limit to 14 with no cut-off (Gross & Nett) in order to decide the champion who will not only walk home with the Samarahan Open Brian Chein Chai Ung Challenge Trophy but with some vouchers worth RM3,500.00. A special category (two-man team event) over 36 Holes only for gross play has been introduced with no restrictions on the combination.    

The donor and sponsor of Brian Chien Trophy (president of Samarahan Country Club) happily said: “We will see the crème de la crème amateurs from Sarawak vying for the champion’s title. We have also sent invitation to international affiliates and will likely for the first time get good respond and look forward to the participation of an increased field of international golfers. With this we hope it will attract and increase tourism in Sarawak.”

He continued: “We also encourage local golfers to play at the Samarahan Country Club, the only 18-hole golf course located in the Samarahan Division. The standard of the course has been improved by leaps and bounds. I hope they will have a great experience of golf here.”
