It was certainly a fun-filled day for 144 golfers who took part in the first U Associate Golf Challenge 2013 as they pitted their best skills on the greens.
Organised by NTUC’s Membership Department (MED) and U Sports, the inaugural golf challenge swung off to a perfect start at the Orchid Country Club on 10 April 2013.
The event aims to bring U Associate partners and members closer to NTUC and the unions. It was also an opportunity for everyone to network and foster a closer relationship with the Labour Movement.
Shared MED Director Vivek Kumar: “‘Do Together’ is a key spirit of the Labour Movement and this event signifies it vividly among U Associates, unions, U Sports, Orchid Country Club and NTUC Membership.
U Associate Golf Challenge has emerged as an excellent platform to interact with our partners and members in a highly engaging environment.”
Besides golf, participants also enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner spread in the evening with live band performances. Wrapping up the event, participants also walked away with attractive prizes from the lucky draw.
