PRIOR TO YOUR CURRENT POSITION AS SGA PRESIDENT, WHAT WAS YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN GOLF?
I was a Singapore Golf Association (SGA) Executive Board member from 20182020, and then SGA Vice President from 2020-2022 before becoming the President of SGA. During this time, I also chaired the SGA Audit & Risk and Governance and Compliance Sub-committees where we reviewed SGA’s operating policies, standards & procedures. I am pleased that SGA recently received the Charity Transparency Awards 2023 which is a testament to the hard work past and current committees have put in to ensure good governance.
WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AS SGA PRESIDENT AND WHAT NEW APPROACH DO YOU HOPE TO TAKE IN THIS CAPACITY?
As SGA President, my role involves working with my Executive Board, Governing Council and Sub-committee colleagues to provide strategic leadership and direction. Thus far, I have applied my corporate and management experience towards building SGA as an effective, well governed, and sustainable organisation in Singapore and the region.
WHAT DO YOU FEEL IS THE STATE OF GOLF IN SINGAPORE CURRENTLY?
Although we face several challenges such as land scarcity, I strongly believe that golf in Singapore is vibrant with a passionate community supporting the sport. There is certainly keen interest amongst the community which can be seen by the utilisation rates of golf courses and driving ranges.
