MALAYSIA’S BEST OUTBOUND GOLF TOUR OPERATOR
16 November – Liberty Golf Services was awarded Malaysia's
Best Outbound Golf Tour Operator 2014 at the inaugural World Golf
Awards held at The Conrad Algarve, Portugal.
Established since 1976, Liberty Golf Group operates
golf tours & holidays to 59 destinations through 17 countries with
operations based in Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia & Cambodia. This has
contributed significantly towards the development of bilateral golf tourism
revenues within the region over the many years.
In accepting the award, Simon Ng said "It is a
great recognition for us and it is very humbling to be acknowledged at such a
prestigious event like this”.
The group managing director explained "We have
served the industry for over 38 years now; it is comforting that we have
survived many financial turmoil and travel crisis. We know what is best to
serve our customers in Malaysia & the region. Adding onto our wide network
and buying power, we’re still able to offer reasonable pricing despite odds
against us like unlicensed operators, hefty fuel surcharges, commission
reduction and economic retardation”.
Remaining as a pioneer in the outbound golf travel
business, Liberty Golf is also a founding member of the Malaysia Golf Tourism
Association (MGTA) – which helped Malaysia to win Asia’s Best Golf
Destination 2014 award at the same evening of the World Golf Awards. “Although
headquartered in Malaysia, Liberty Golf Group has grown to be a regional
service provider to many golfers but will not leave out our personal touch –
something that separates us from the others” Simon added.
The inaugural World Golf Awards is part of World Travel
Awards, which is heralded as “the Oscars of the travel industry” and begun in
1993.

LIBERTY CUP 2014 - Siem Reap, Cambodia (pictures)
Ly Hong lands Liberty Cup
Cambodia’s leading amateur golfer Ly Hong won the second edition of the winner-takes-all 2014 Liberty Cup after a two-round 78 gross score in the Stableford tournament which concluded at the Sir Nick Faldo-
designed Angkor Golf Resort in Siem Reap yesterday.
The left-handed Ly Hong, who had represented Cambodia in both the 2011 SEA Games and the 2010 Asian Games, shot a one-over-par 73 to lead the field in the first round which was played at the Phokeethra Country Club on Monday.
He handily kept the lead by firing an identical score at the AGR for a tally of 78 points under the fixed Stableford point system.
The long-driving Ly Hong placed great importance on his short game and putting.
“I’m very happy to have participated in Liberty Cup for the second year in a row. I really enjoyed myself and have built good relationship with other participants,” the 42 year old told the Post.
“Second shots are very important, especially [at the] Angkor Golf Resort, and they turned out well for me.”
The Kingdom’s cup of joy overflowed after a similarly sounding Lee Hong emerged as the men’s nett winner, even as the 2013 champion Alex Yap of Malaysia could only finish third.
As many as 14 local golfers were in a field of 88 drawn from Malaysia, Laos, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore and the United Kingdom. The event was jointly organised by Malaysia’s Liberty Golf Services and Cambodia-based PSD travel.
The 2013 Carlsberg Golf Classic champion Roszali Baharuddin of Malaysia finished tied for 11th.
“It’s my first time to Cambodia and it’s an amazing country. My deepest gratitude to Carlsberg Malaysia for sponsoring me to participate in this great event,” he told the Post.
Meanwhile, Lillian Wong of Malaysia became the first women’s champion with a two-round score of 69 in a field that included eight of her compatriots.
The organisers invited BFT, a Siem Reap-based children’s charity organisation for a charity drive – a hole-in-one competition. While the kids enjoyed the golfing bit, they also entertained the tournament participants to a grand dance performance.
The key partners to the Liberty Cup were Transview Golf, Titoni, Carlsberg, RHB Bank, Angkor Golf Resort, Phokeethra Country Club, Casillero del Diablo and Vittel.
