Only know that non-playing captain is Lipp Ooi.

Thinking of bring my almost 5 yr old daughter who just started golf lessons there as a weekend activity. Will never do so if I have to pay for one of those PGA tourneys. Hopefully will get her interest up.

Any idea if there will be other thing to do there? will there be other activities such as golf clinics, demos, hospitality tents etc. Not much hype or info on the websites...

I dun think we will be walking the course too much..

Good luck guys!

please lent your support to the Sg team....it will be quite a spectacle to have this at the Classic. obviously the home team have the advantage having trained more than a month together on this challenging course.

i was told the reaction of the Malaysian golfers when they first saw the course was pretty priceless....

win or lose, its great for local golf. even fox sports is telecasting this.

DGman

yup

Pro AM is today... in 2 hours time

Best of luck to both teams. I am sure the competition will be intense. Whatever the outcome, let Golf be the real winner!

Hmm.....maybe just for MM......will pop by!

Let's hope that there's no blackout at the scorecard submission booth.

To both teams, play well and do your best! Putting aside the rivalry, this is a great opportunity for the best from both sides of the causeway to bridge that gap! Well done to the organizers. Let's hope that this becomes an annual event!

Singapore took a comfortable lead in the 1st day.

Well done guys.
One interesting point, if you sum up the score......I think nobody break par. What a golf course it is.

Hope our team will continue to do well over the next 2 days.

It was a tough day for both teams. It was really hot and the wind was swirling at times. Greens are fast like skating rinks. Better bring lots of water if you guys are coming down to watch this wonderful event held at this beautiful golf course. Come on Singapore!!!

bogeyman, can bring me go play world classic ma?

Respect to the guys playing the World Classic monster. In perfect conditions it is already too difficult, with wind and the sun beating down, plus a light dusting of rain, it becomes an obstacle course.

Both sets of Singapore and Malaysia pros are actually pretty chummy and good-natured, many having played together in tournaments over the years. It was awesome watching them at work; they made it look so easy. The course takes no prisoners though, from the black tees the difficulty levels up a few times...especially when there's mostly no fairway to speak of!

I was out there walking with my kids for a few holes today and it was awesome. It was hot and there are much fewer areas of shade for spectators than the Masters course. The halfway house at Hole 12 was our base. The team at Laguna was great at making it accessible.

My lanky 12 year old got to see a lanky QQ hit some nice shots so I hope that inspires him . Being boys, we all liked the idea of a girl carrying our clubs so Marc K. was good to see. We got to see roughly half the SG team today before we had to go, but we will try to get them out there again tomorrow.

If you go there with kids, pack drinks and umbrellas and be prepared to walk. It is harder on the spectator than events the Masters course, but remember it is also harder on the player.

Go Team Singapore!

btw
