VIOBA Annual Golf Tournament 2007 Report & Highlights

VIOBA Annual Golf Tournament 2007 was held recently on 29 July 2007 at Seri Selangor Golf Club in Kota Damansara, PJ. The tournament which was only planned three weeks prior to the date, managed to attract about 60 golfers which were separated into 15 flights. The likes of Dato' Yusli Mohamed Yusoff, Dato' Mustafa Mohd Ali, Datuk Jamaluddin Mansor and Dato' Dina Rizal were joined by other Old Boys in competing for the honour of representing VIOBA in the upcoming Perdana Shield Golf Tournament 2007 and Inter-Alumni Golf Tournament 2007.

It started raining from 6 a.m. which caused some concerns whether the course is playable due to rain. However, the rain didn't seem to dampen our avid golfers' spirit and they started turning up at Seri Selangor Golf Club since 7 a.m. and were raring to go. Fortunately, the skies cleared at around 8 a.m. and by 8.30 a.m., our golfers started loading their golf bags on the back of their buggies and went to their designated starting holes to tee off. The fairways and greens were a bit fast considering it rained for quite a bit earlier. The course is quite tough to those golfers who are unfamiliar with it due to the narrow fairways and fast greens.

At around 2 p.m. our golfers started coming in after finishing their round of golf. After handing in their scorecards, they enjoyed lunch while waiting for the final results and the prize giving ceremony. All in all, it was a successful event considering the organizing committee had only three weeks to plan the whole thing.
