Singapore, October 13: The inaugural Singapore Golf Association (SGA) Golf Week is set to bring the community and stakeholders together as it celebrates and recognises supporters of the sport of golf across various locations in Singapore from November 13-19.
Bringing together a strong line-up of renowned leaders from the golfing community in Asia to the Singapore Island Country Club on November 13, the Asia Golf Convention kickstarts the week where golf industry leaders, experts and sports officials from across Asia share their insights on wide-ranging topics that include agronomy, sustainability, mental wellness and golf in Asia.
The President’s Cup followed by an Annual Gala and Awards dinner at Orchid Country Club on November 14 will also anchor this week-long golf fiesta, where it aims to recognise and appreciate all supporters and stakeholders in the golf ecosystem.
Additionally, the President’s Cup is also expected to raise funds through the One Team Singapore Fund (OTSF) for SGA’s High-Performance golf programs and initiatives to develop Singapore golf, including the hosting of two major international tournaments – South East Asian Amateur Golf Team Championship 2024 and World Amateur Team Championships 2025.
Aptly themed as Golf is a Force for Good and Get Golfing!, the Community Engagement and Golf Fiesta held at Keppel Club and Downtown East respectively will then become the platform for community participation with a focus on the fun and social aspects of the sport.
SGA will collaborate with Keppel Club to provide less privileged groups with the opportunity to try their hand at golf, followed by lunch to encourage fostering of friendships through the sport on November 16.
Working in partnership with NTUC Club, the Golf Fiesta held at Downtown East over the weekend of November 18-19 will feature a full-filled extravaganza of golf-themed activities for everyone. The aim of the golf carnival is to introduce and promote golf to the wider community, which is also the shared mission of both SGA and NTUC Club.
Tan Chong Huat, President of SGA said: “We are very excited to announce the launch of our inaugural SGA Golf Week as it will play a pivotal role in shaping the golf ecosystem not only in Singapore but also the region.
“We look forward to working with our partners and stakeholders to promote and enhance the golfing culture and landscape in the region.”
