The popular event is still six months away, and already the buzz and excitement of The Business Times Corporate Golf League, which brings together amateur golfers from companies, is being felt at clubs and courses.

To be renamed The Straits Times & Business Times Corporate Golf League because of the great momentum the event has produced, the consensus from participating teams is that the name switch is appropriate to attract a wider audience and fuller media attention.

Single-handicapper Joey Chang, 60, who played in every edition and 95 per cent of the games since the event started in 2011, said: "A perfect move. This is a fabulous tournament for friendship, camaraderie and networking. It has grown tremendously both in number of teams and corporate attention since the inaugural event."

Chang, founder and former chief executive of AXS Pte Ltd and now retired, has played for Citibank, Singapore Pools, Performance Motors and Singapore Global Trust over the years.
