Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club, The First Golf Course In Sabah To Offer Big Hole Golf

Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia 7 May 2016 - Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu launched “Big Hole Golf” on 5 May 2016 at the resort’s award-winning Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club with 33 invited players to enjoy a fun 9-hole game. The event was kicked off by the president of Sabah Golf Association Datuk George Bandusena and general manager of Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu Jonathan Reynolds.

Keeping abreast with current trends, Dalit Bay Golf & Country club showcased its new initiative to the club members, corporate clients, travel partners and meeting organisers during the event. “I am excited to announce that Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club is the first golf course in Borneo to have Big Hole Golf, leading the golf trend in Sabah, the club offers a new style of play for both advanced and new players a fun and exciting experience,” said Jonathan Reynolds, general manager.

The main difference between Big Hole Golf and the traditional golf is the cup size of the hole, 6 inches compared with 4.25inches, another rule that breaks the tradition is to have the flagstick remaining in the hole, making it a fast paced format of the game. Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club will offer Big Hole Golf as an added option for golf tournaments for those wanting something different by mixing Big Holes with normal holes.

The regular sized cup remains at the 18-hole championship golf course, Big Hole Golf is only available on request and during the monthly Big Hole Golf day on 1st Thursday of every calendar month, the first Big Hole Golf Day at Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club will commence on 2 June 2016.
