Quadrangular

Golf Tournament

Steve Shim Challenge Trophy (1–3 July 2005 Kuching Sarawak)
 

The Singapore Team took part, at the invitation of the Sarawak Advocates Association, in the new quadrangular golf tournament involving the respective Bars of West Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore. The challenge trophy, called the Steve Shim Challenge Trophy, was donated by the Chief Judge of Sarawak, the Honourable Chief Judge Tan Sri Steve Shim.

Singapore was represented by 14 golfers, which included two guest players. The Singapore team comprised Joseph Liow, Kalyani Rajendran, Chan Lai Foong, B Mohan Singh, Christina Goh, Lim Siew Kuan, Albert Kang, Thangaveloo Suppiah, A Rohim, Syed Ahmad, Alex Ling and Hafiz Sayuti. The tournament was played on Saturday, 2 July 2005 at the Sarawak Golf Club under scorching heat. The Santubong and Matang courses were recently upgraded with Tidwarf Bermuda and in excellent condition. The greens were hard and fast, challenging golfers to bring their best putting strokes onto 
the greens.

The format of play was System 36 Stableford with the best five scores from each team contributing towards reckoning of each team’s score. Singapore faired well, securing second placing, losing narrowly only to the West Malaysia team which fielded 40 players. Singapore’s Kalyani Rajendran also emerged as the Best Lady Player for the tournament.
