Jloo, don't ask how ppl got it, ask why you fail to get it...........

well, i still wonder how does u got this tasks, for spore open.

For a start, i think you need to have a good command of english and also past experience in such events. Singapore Open is a big event but Handa aint that small either..... So i guess Asian Tour has confidence in Ivan and since its a joint sanction event, so they went with Ivan.

Anyway, its not an easy job...

To be fair, I think jloo61 did before for Singapore Master in Laguna years ago? So how did you get it then?

Joseph, if you are interested, you can always write to WSG (World Sports Group). address your letter to Michelle Young. they don't pay for your services and last i remember not even meal.

Our thai guys did the world amateur championship at Amata Spring last week and everything from accomodation and meal was paid for. on top of that, Augusta National paid for every shaft, grip and repair done and the appointment was made more than half a year back. in singapore i get a call a week or 2 before the event and hence we have stopped doing any free service in Singapore.

take the Honda LPGA event for example, the club fitting gets a 5 year contract and was given airtime for publicity.

to be fair, ivan does have experience in this area and he is the right person to do it because of his enthusiasm and experience. Uncle Phua is also a work-horse.

Duffy besides the command of english, i have not seen a better team than the Thais.....period.

Sad to see that our club fitters did not get recognization for the job in a big event like Singapore Open.

Guys, do take it easy for my question to Ivan. i am just asking him a simple n honest question. but my good friend Eric had give me a great reply. i am not at all trying to take his tasks at the spore open, am sure he has good connection n good will with WSG to take this tasks.

Hope you guys dont mind me reply you all one by one with my more sincere answer.

Shamusan, cool answer. Ivan is handsome, maybe there are some gays there, joking
Drawbias: Pls undertand, i didnt ask for it. is great Ivan get it. thanks
Duffader: Handa Classic was a very rush job. i knew how Ivan got it and thankful to Mr Phua that he was helping.

Enwee, yes it is quite say that clubfitters in spore dont get much exposure after the tournaments. Maybe Asian PGA should help to highlights all the offical helpers.

Dear Master,

WSG might not be paying because the last few people that paid for some form of services have all been sentenced to jail terms of around 12 weeks, and more to come.

I guess the lesson learnt when it comes to services is, when in doubt, don't pay.

Many Thanks.

Congrats Ivan. Another great milestones and acknowledgement of your ability to serve world class professionals and golfers everywhere.

That Esq Bates has a lot of depth......i wished Alan Turing was alive to help me decipher your message......i mean the part after the WITB heading.

You gotta be busy this week, Ivan...

Many Thanks.

That's only on odd days of the month.

That's why I'm hoping to win a NFS Diamana Towel to wipe my bodily fluids off after my NSFW activities.


Many Thanks.
