M'sian Queen Attends Official Launch Of The Golf Course In Langkawi

LANGKAWI (Kedah, Malaysia), Oct 29 (Bernama) -- South African professional golfer Theodore Ernest "Ernie" Els was Tuesday honoured with the presence of the Queen, Tuanku Hajah Haminah (middle), in celebrating the official launch of his first ever golf course creation in Southeast Asia. In the company of Tuanku Hajah Haminah, the four-time major champion and World Golf Hall of Fame inductee Els struck the opening tee shot on the world's most hotly anticipated new course - The Els Club Teluk Datai Langkawi. "This is, without doubt, the most spectacular golf course setting I have had the pleasure of working on and I am incredibly excited about the prospect of inviting the first visitors to come and enjoy The Els Club Teluk Datai," he told a press conference here. He said the course was truly breathtaking and he was delighted with what they had achieved here. “It was an honour to hit the opening tee shot alongside Her Majesty and I would personally like to thank all of those in attendance for their support in what, we are confident, is set to become one of the world’s most revered golf course designs,” he said. Having already been voted the region’s ‘Best Golf Course’ at the 2014 Asia Pacific Property Awards, The Els Club Teluk Datai has gained unprecedented interest among the world’s golfing media and industry officials. Senior Vice President of The Els Club Malaysia, David Townend, said: "This is one of the world’s most visually stunning golf courses; so the early feedback they have achieved and the tremendous reaction they have experienced here Tuesday is really no surprise. “Over the coming months, we expect to welcome golfers from all over the world who are eager to test themselves against Ernie’s masterpiece and take advantage of the incredible experience that can be had as a tourist in Langkawi.” (photoBERNAMA) -- BERNAMA
