NEWSMAKERS UNPLUGGED----BETTING 250 EUROS WITH BORIS BECKER FOR A 'HOLE-IN-ONE'! A DRAW BUT NEWSMAKERS UNPLUGGED STILL DONATED THE 250 EUROS TO LAUREUS CHARIITY FOUNDATION FOR NEEDY KIDS!

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
HOSTS OF NEWSMAKERS UNPLUGGED KASSANDRA KASSIM AND HENRY GOLDING CHALLENGED TENNIS LEGEND AND LAUREUS AMBASSADOR BORIS BECKER TO A BEST OF 3 MINI HOLE IN ONE.

Translated...it meant whoever fails to putt a golf ball into a plastic cup within 3 attempts must pay 250 euros!

Miraculously Henry Golding (not at all famous for golfing) managed to putt a golf ball straight into the plastic cup on the third and last attempt!

Miraculously or maybe not, Boris Becker did the same!

So it was a draw but producers Kassandra Kassim and Frank Nelwan decided to donate the 250 euros (over RM 1,000) to Laureus since it was for a good cause!

Congratulations to all and this exclusive episode will air on ASTRO StarWorld channel starting from 16 October 2013!
