Patrick Daniel to head SPH Golf Club

The SPH Golf Club is rapidly growing their membership base and has engaged a dynamic team, lead by Singapore Press Holdings deputy chief executive officer Patrick Daniel, to manage and run its activities.

SPH Golf Club General Manager Benny Teo, managing editor of Golf Vacations, is set to meet with the committee shortly to oversee an event program for 2017.

Players holding a membership card at the club are eligible for a free round at various highly-rated courses, including Johor’s Horizon Hills Golf Club, and several in Australia.

“The SPH Golf Card aims to make golf accessible to the public and grow the game,” Teo said.

“Despite the recent closure of Jurong Country Club and the news of Raffles Country Club being acquired for redevelopment, we are confident that, together with the SGA, we can continue to expand golfing interest and activity by expanding the playing field.

“We have introduced some exciting programmes to expand golf’s reach and lower the barriers of entry. For example, our new handicapping system allows golfers who have been playing regularly without a handicap outside the country to obtain one with little hassle.”
