"Play golf in Singapore because it is like no other place on earth. It will touch your soul, and it may never let you go."

For nearly two decades, 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 has guided the evolution of 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗮 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗳 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯. Wearing three hats as General Manager, Director of Agronomy, and resident course designer, Andy first came to Singapore for a course redesign, promised he would return, and ended up making the island his home.

🧠 𝗢𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗴:
"The best holes don't just tell you where to hit the ball. They create a little doubt. Serapong will tempt you all day long, but you don't have to say yes every time. Choose the landing area you can hit, keep out of the bunkers, and let the score take care of itself."

⛳ 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝟯𝟲𝟱 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿:
While Sentosa hosts major spectacles like the Singapore Open, LIV Golf, and the HSBC Women's World Championship, Andy's team keeps green speeds around 10.5 stimpmeter all year:
"The tournament standard isn't something we switch on for one week. It is the standard we chase every single day."

🐝 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗳 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲:
Beyond the manicured fairways, Andy has transformed Sentosa into an environmental pioneer: home to 40 stingless-bee hives, soil sensors, rainwater recycling, resident otters, kingfishers, and thriving coral reefs just offshore.

His advice for traveling golfers? Do not just pass through Singapore for a quick round. Stay a few days, play both The Serapong and The Tanjong, and discover the soul of the island.
