Unique opportunity for Superintendents
The R&A in conjunction with the Sentosa Golf Club will select a Superintendent Volunteer of the Week from the SMBC Singapore Open to win a coveted trip to England for the 146th Open at Royal Birkdale in July through their new Superintendent Volunteer Programme.
At the Open, they will be part of the team that is responsible for participating in the set-up and the daily operations of the 2017 Open Championship course.
Andy Johnston, General Manager and Director of Agronomy at Sentosa Golf Club, said: “We are delighted to have worked out an arrangement with The R&A to send the Superintendent Volunteer of the Week to next year’s Open Championship.
“It will be an experience the lucky winner will never forget.”
Dominic Wall, Director – Asia-Pacific at The R&A, who have recently opened an office at Sentosa Golf Club, said: “The R&A holds a long association with the Sentosa Golf Club and, as such, we are pleased to support the Sentosa Agronomy Superintendent Volunteer Programme.
“By offering the Volunteer of the Week a chance to be involved with The Open Championship, we hope to raise the profile of superintendents in general and highlight the excellent work they do, which often goes unnoticed and unpraised.”
Organised by Sentosa Golf Club and supported by the Asian Golf Industry Federation (AGIF) and the Club Managers Association of America (CMAA), the Sentosa Agronomy Superintendent Volunteer Programme has become an integral part of the SMBC Singapore Open in recent years.
