If you go to the driving range at the Guthrie Pavilion, you would notice a pro shop at the corner end of the building. There, unknowingly is one of the top 100 certified club maker in the world. Yes, our very own Aswan. He has conducted his business there for the past 6 years and have repaired and supplied clubs to professional golfers. Amongst his customers are Bernard Langer, John Daly etc. Aswan is the agent for 2 brands of clubs ie KZG and Wishon. Amongst the local BJ pros that use his clubs are Ahmad Khalid(Tok Mat), Vijay Singh (Farid) and Rafeeq.
I remember Ahmad Khalid on the 9th hole of KGNS main course. We went to the 9th hole even. The hole is about 399m driving down and uphill approach to the green. After a good drive with the KZG, Tok Mat took out his Wishon fairway wood and hit a wonderful shot onto the green. Tan Sri Wahab, Tok Mat's partner, gleamed with pride thinking that they had the game in their pocket. He finished par on the hole. Of course they lost. I had a birdie. My Taylor Made putter was adjusted by Aswan. I managed to sink a 30ft putt.
