KUCHING: A former state soccer player John Hunter recently led a group of Australian golfers to play a friendly game among themselves at Damai Golf and Country Club (DGCC) here recently.
This was disclosed by DGCC’s general manager Roslan Mohd Salleh who said “it is a lovely surprise to meet the legendary footballer who used to be the toast of the state soccer team in the 1990s.”
“We would like to thank him for bringing along his friends to play at our club during their short stay here,” said Roslan, adding that the visitors came to know DGCC through news reports on the club hosting last year’s Asian Tour (AT) and Asian Development Tour (ADT) where some Australian golfers took part.
“John Hunter is also very good at golf and we are happy to note that he and his friends have enjoyed their stay at DGCC.
“We hope they will come back again,” Roslan said, adding that John was a member of the State team which clinched the 1992 FA Cup.
Roslan also disclosed that the DGCC Muhibbah Golf Special 2019 which will be held on June 23 is now open for entry.
The one-day event will be the first tournament after the Hari Raya Aidil Fitri celebration.
