Sarawak Economic Development Corporation

SANTUBONG: Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) chairman Datuk Talib Zulpilip has challenged Damai Golf and Country Club (DGCC) to become the best golf course in the country.

“Can you make Damai Golf and Country Club the best golf course in Malaysia?” he asked at DGCC’s staff appreciation luncheon here yesterday.

Talib, who is also the president, received an overwhelming “yes … Damai the best” response from the staff.

“Above all, we must be ready to face challenges and follow through to reach set targets,” the Jepak assemblyman said.

Earlier, DGCC general manager Ahkim Sarok said the club was performing better than last year when many complaints were made against the condition of the course.

“A lot of adverse comments were received in early 2007, especially on the condition of the course. Now, many members are saying we have improved a lot.”

Ahkim also announced that Sarawak Golf Association would hold a major tournament at DGCC in April 2009.

He pledged that the club would go all out to maintain or upgrade its golf course for the event.

As many tournaments have been lined up at the club till August, he called on the staff to work harder to maintain the golf course to meet the expectations of both members and clients.

At the function, Talib also launched the Club’s Merdeka Golf Package in conjunction with the celebration of Malaysia’s 51st independence anniversary.

Offered from August 1 to September 15, the package is inclusive of green fees, use of buggy and choice of lunch from ala carte menu.
