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.
