What is the Swinging Malaysian Golf Group About?

 

The Swinging Malaysian Golf Group was formed in 1996 by Richard Ng, Ronnie Chang and C.K. Wong all of whom reside in Wellington, New Zealand. The main purpose of this group is to bring Malaysian golfers together each month to have a friendly and competitive game of golf, and also to foster closer ties amongst the Malaysian community in Wellington, New Zealand. However, the Swinging Malaysian Golf Group's membership is not limited to Malaysians, but also to friends of Malaysians in Wellington. The 1997/98 season will commence in November 1997. The first game will be held out of Wellington.
