TGCR'S CLOSED CHAMPIONSHIP 2017
The 23rd Tropicana Club Closed
Championship 2017, a 3-day event which
is the penultimate golf event of the year
for Tropicana Golf & Country Resort
(TGCR) arrived with great anticipation
by all members filling all 120 spots. This
year is the first time in the club’s history
to host the tournament with play starting
from the all 3 courses starting from the
West, East 1 and East 2.
Many members practiced weeks
on end to catch a glimpse of glory
and be named club champion. They
compete not just for the prizes, but to
be immortalised in Tropicana Golf and
Country Club’s history. The event was
opened by last year’s runner up Jimmy
Chia kicking off the tournament by
hitting the first tee shot. This year the
course set another challenge for the
player with greens speed up to 13 feet on
the stimpmeter on the first day setting
the speed the highest in the club’s history
of the usual tournament greens speed of
12 feet.
