Jeff's Seventh Heaven

Rhythmic & Powerful Game Takes Jeff Into National Finals

It’s been a remarkable day for 56-year old Jeff Cheong from Kluang Country Club. His swing has been so rhythmic yet so powerful. He was awesome with his driver and putter. The 9-handicapper who shot a gross score of 75 jumped in joy when he walked to collect his prize.

The fairways at Kluang Country Club are spread over a hilly terrain and to play on this “commando course” is no easy task. “I’ve not taken a break for the past 18-years,” said Jeff who displayed signs of utmost loyalty in the Carlsberg Golf Classic event, and has won it seven times.
