Golf clinic for junior players
In accord with Omega sporting spirit, an exclusive Junior Golf Clinic led by six-time LPGA winner and Omega ambassador Céline Boutier was held for aspiring golfers at the Saujana Golf & Country Club in Selangor.

The junior players had the unique opportunity to develop their skills in a professional setting, thanks to coaching from one of the sport’s top athletes.
They also gained invaluable insights into the discipline and dedication required to excel in golf.
The golf clinic focused on three key areas of the game: pitching, chipping and putting.
Each skill session was designed to introduce the junior golfers to the fundamentals of the sport, with hands-on guidance from Boutier and a team of seasoned golf professionals.
From the precision of a well-placed chip to the finesse of a controlled putt, participants learned about fine-tuning their golf skills with patience and attention to detail.

Following the clinic, Issing hosted a luncheon at Charcoal Restaurant for the young golfers, their families and special guests after the session on the course.
Attendees had a chance to connect and reflect on the memorable experiences of the day, and learn more about Omega’s involvement with the world of golf.
Guests were also given a chance to view and have a hands-on experience with Omega’s latest range as well as several iconic watches in the brand.
During a conversation on stage, Boutier shared with the young participants her journey to success, touching on the highs and challenges of her career on the LPGA Tour.
