SINGAPORE - At midnight on June 13, Terence Lim and his friends sat in front of their laptops, frantically trying to secure a tee time at the Marina Bay Golf Course .
“Probably after the 18 holes we will cry and tear a bit. This is the last time we will be here after many years so it’s bittersweet memories.MBGC was running at full capacity after the Covid-19 pandemic and in the lead up to its closure, about 8,000 golfers were teeing off monthly, ST understands. Amateur golfer Max Kloer, 44, has been a regular player at MBGC since 2006. The 1.8-handicapper, who will be participating in July’s Singapore Open Amateur Championship, lamented the loss of a public facility where he has access to the practice chipping and putting areas.
“I don’t like to go to Malaysia because it’s troublesome. I have experienced getting stuck in traffic jams for five hours. To go to Batam you need to pay like $76 for the ferry. It’s just a real shame.” Oh added: “I’m always excited playing here at night especially when the weather is much cooler. I’m not a very good golfer and golfing at MBGC is always a challenge.”
