“To us, Carlsberg is all about bringing people together for celebration. Hence, we upped the game this year with greater prizes and excitement for both avid and new golfers to play, network and talk about golf in a fun, exciting and less competitive setting,” he said during the media launch at The Saujana Golf and Country Club, Selangor.
“Proud to be “Probably The Smoothest Golf Tournament”, we’ve raised the bar this year with the first-edition of Carlsberg Golf Festival in conjunction with the National Finals, novelty shots on the green, and complemented by our signature brews, including – Carlsberg Smooth Draught and the non-alcoholic beverage – Somersby 0.0 sparkling fruit juice,” Clini added.
