Petaling Jaya, Malaysia: MST Golf has taken another step forward in its mission to broaden golf’s following with the official opening of the second MST Golf Arena outlet at Tropicana Gardens Mall.
As one of the region’s leading golf retailers and golf services provider, MST Golf aims to make golf more inclusive and accessible through the MST Golf Arena recipe of entertainment, dining and retail.
The evening launch was attended by MST Golf’s business partners, golf industry leaders, members of the media and some of the country’s top golfers – including Malaysian number one Gavin Green, rising star Shahriffuddin Ariffin and amateur talent Malcolm Ting, recent winner of the Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) men’s individual gold medal.
Green joined MST Golf Managing Director KP Low and Tropicana Corporation Group Executive Director Jared Ang to hit ceremonial tee-shots before the traditional Lion Dance performance to mark the auspicious occasion.
“It’s an unbelievable set-up. It’s a great place for people to chill after work. There’s everything here; indoor golf, fitting, shopping, a bar, food,” said Green, Asian Tour Order of Merit champion in 2017.
Located on the ground floor, the 36,000-plus square foot MST Golf Arena at Tropicana Gardens has already become a popular hangout for golfers and their friends since its soft opening on August 18 – including many who want to try golf for the first time.
“We are proud to bring the MST Golf Arena ‘whole-in-one’ experience to Tropicana Gardens Mall. This location is perfect due to its proximity to a huge suburban population, as well as golf clubs such as Seri Selangor and Tropicana,” said MST Golf Chief Executive Officer Ng Yap.
“MST Golf Arena is the ideal place to have a great time with friends and family, regardless of whether they play golf or not. By making golf fun and accessible, we hope to broaden the demographics of the golfing population, especially among the younger generations,” he added.
