In a first ever initiative of its kind towards the end of September HSBC Malta organised a weekend golfing event at the Royal Malta Golf Club (RMGC).

HSBC is a worldwide promoter of golf through its Premier Golf Network and organises a number of events throughout the year aimed at giving Premier customers opportunities to develop their golfing skills and in the process enhancing customer experience.

The weekend kicked-off on Saturday at the RMGC Junior Academy where a number of HSBC Premier customers and their children received golf tips and training under the guidance of RMGC professionals. The main event on the Sunday was the HSBC Premier Malta Golf Challenge, an individual four-ball stableford competition. The keenly contested event saw the participation of 52 experienced golfers, who are also HSBC Premier customers.

During a well attended reception at the RMGC’s new attractively refurbished open-air terrace, trophies were presented to the winners by HSBC CEO Mark Watkinson. John Lewis won the competition scoring 39 points through a count-back on Violet Scott who placed second on the same score. Meanwhile, Alan Shaw achieved the nearest to pin on hole six.
