In the months for free golf green play, NATURAL LIFE card holders are entitled to free green play on all days of the month, which is the first at home. The free driving range golf play lasts for 2 quarters and NATURAL LIFE card holders are entitled to free play in the designated golf driving ranges in the 12 host cities, which is a pioneering activity initiated by IB for golf value-added service. With the preferential booking service in over 100 driving ranges of over 200 golf clubs nationwide, the IB NATURAL LIFE VIP Customer Golf Tour will add more noble elements to the life of NATURAL LIFE centurion and platinum card holders.
