OBJECTIVES

As part of an ongoing process to further consolidate the development of Junior Golf, MGA have set up a National Junior Development Committee with representatives from the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Education, the National Sports Council, Yayasan Kecermerlangan Sukan (SportExcel), Golf Clubs, MALGA, the Private Sector, MPGA and MGA. The Committee is to draw up the Master Plan for the National Junior Golf Development in Malaysia for adoption by MGA. The initial aims and objectives of the National Junior Development Programme are as follows:

1. To promote and develop golf among children between the ages of 10 to 18 years or younger where appropriate.

2. To encourage schools, clubs, driving ranges and other golf related bodies to undertake and implement golf development programmes for Juniors.

3. To create a wider base of Junior Players who can become proficient in the game of golf and represent the country.

4. To enhance the inter-personal skills required for international meets to supplement their golf skills so that they can better represent the Country internationally and excel in the sports.

5. To provide the opportunity for talented and committed young golfers to consider making a career out of golf through the programme.

The above aims and objectives are not finite but expandable, so long as any addition can further contribute to the growth of Junior Golf. To ensure that the Master Plan is effectively coordinated and implemented, MGA will need the services of an experienced and reputable Coach cum Instructor with proven track record. The current Sapura-MGA Junior Programme and other Junior Programmes undertaken by Clubs will continue to form an integral part of the Overall Master Plan.
