SOME 90 golfers yesterday morning teed off at the 16th Rotary Charity Golf to raise monies in helping less fortunate children to go back to school to continue their education. Organised by the Rotary Club of BSB and held at the RBA golf Club, Henry Ting, President of the Rotary Club of BSB in his speech conveyed his heartfelt appreciation to the participating golfers.
“This yearly golf event was organised so that children who are less fortunate are given the opportunity to continue their education again. After today, we have raised a total of over $250,000 through the long history of this golf charity,” he highlighted.
Despite the current economic uncertainty Henry Ting said, “We still managed to raise more than $20,000 this year and this means that we could send about 10 kids back to school. Together, we will continue to support this meaningful education project of the rotary that is in line with our current Rotary International Present Theme ‘Rotary Serving Humanity’.”
In the prize presentation ceremony, Allan Hor took home the overall gross winner trophy with the score of 77 gross while the trophy for overall nett winner went to Lim Cheng Ho after carding 69 nett.
