TMCC GIVES PRIORITY TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Tanah Merah Country Club has always placed corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a major priority when it comes to initiatives to promote community projects.

Therefore, when the club's deputy chairman Ashok Kumar proposed a CSR initiative to introduce golf to young students in its neighbourhood, the general committee (GC) and club management welcomed the move with full enthusiasm.

After all, the club is home to a cadre of top-level golf instructors, many of whom have represented the nation over the past decade. Among them are Goh Kun Yang, Marc Ong, Jerome Ng, Gregory Foo and George Foo who are complemented by once national age group golfer Daren Lim, who has been a big influence on members and has turned many aspiring youngsters into accomplished golfers over the past two decades.

Relying on that massive advantage, the club's GC and management believe that golf can be a powerful force for fostering community bonding, strengthening relationships, and positively impacting the growth and development of the younger generation.
