The club premiered a new environmental documentary film at the awards to raise awareness of the importance of climate change in golf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The documentary forms part of the club\u2019s GAME ON campaign, which has received backing from The R&amp;A following its launch at the SMBC Singapore Open earlier this year. It shows viewers some of the key measures already implemented at the club, such as the creation of bee colonies, the installation of reservoir lakes and the banning of single-use plastics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The club, which became the first golf club in the world to sign the UN\u2019s Sports for Climate Action Agreement back in July, hopes the film will serve as inspiration to golf\u2019s response to climate change, as well as help clubs around the world to understand the importance of reducing their carbon footprint by implementing initiatives for the betterment of the environment.\u00a0 Sentosa is also planning a free environmental toolkit to further help golf clubs deal with climate change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The club also took home the title of <b>\u2018Singapore\u2019s Best Golf Course\u2019 <\/b>for The Serapong course for the <span class=\"s2\">third<\/span> year in a row.
