GOLF MALAYSIA IRONS CHALLENGE
The first edition of the Golf Malaysia Irons Challenge took place in 2001.
Golf Malaysia magazine created a new challenge for amateur golfers throughout Malaysia in the form of the Golf Malaysia Irons Challenge. Unlike any golf championship ever played in this region, it had golfers using only their irons to skillfully negotiate ten of the most beautiful golf courses in the country. In recognition of it's uniqueness, on August 7th 2002, the Golf Malaysia Irons Challenge was inducted into the Malaysia Book of Records under the category of "First All Irons Golf Challenge". Since then, the event is organised on a yearly basis.
Other Activities:
- Golf Malaysia magazine regularly gives support to and co-sponsors corporate golf games, charity events and local golf club championships to encourage the continued growth of the game.
- Golf Malaysia magazine is often purchased by tournament organisers and given out either as prizes or as part of the players' tournament gifts.
