Golf and lifestyle came together in stunning fashion during this year’s Malaysian edition of the OMEGA Trophy, which teed off at the prestigious Saujana Golf & Country Club on September 8.

Luxury Swiss watchmaker OMEGA hosted its customers and guests to a memorable day out in the by-invitation-only event, organised by MST Golf Events at Saujana’s scenic and challenging Bunga Raya Course.

The five-star experience commenced from the moment golfers dropped their bags and culminated in a fabulous dinner at the award-winning Senja Restaurant at The Saujana Hotel.

The format of play was Scramble, with participants grouped in teams of three, where the best shot is chosen each time and all players hit from that spot until the ball is holed out.

The Team Scramble format saw a lot of chatter and laughter as the players cheered each other’s good shots. It also made for a speedy and stress-free round, befitting the event's main objective of providing an enjoyable and bespoke experience to players.

The prizegiving dinner was an experience in itself as participants enjoyed classy, sit-down dining, while being able to view displays of OMEGA’s iconic watches and the brand’s long-standing partnership with golf.
