The inaugural edition of Tee Off With The Edge took place on the greens of the Templer Park Country Club (TPCC) on Sept 5. The day began with registration and lunch at the clubhouse’s restaurant, followed by a quick briefing and photo session. Volvo Cars Malaysia had put its XC60 and S90 models on display for the participants to have a closer look before the game, which teed off around 1pm amid perfect weather. A total of 80 golfers competed for the chance to win great prizes, taking adequate breaks in-between holes at the Carlsberg drinks hut.
After the players freshened up at the end of the golf session, the VIP transport, in the form of Volvo’s XC60 and S90, transported them in style to a grand buffet dinner at Setia Eco Templer. Guests were also treated to an array of refreshments by Carlsberg. In his speech, The Edge publisher and group CEO Ho Kay Tat joked that he had called in a ‘weather consultant’ who ensured that any sign of gloomy skies or potential inclement weather were quickly dealt with.
