Kuala Lumpur: The Malaysian Golf Association (MGA) Tuesday launched the GoGolf Programme, aimed at ensuring the elite sport is accessible to all walks of life in the country.MGA President Tan Sri Mohd Anwar Mohd Nor said the programme which was initiated three years ago is designed to

inspire innovation besides bringing positive changes to the golf industry, starting from the grassroots level.

"We hope this programme will reach the masses aligned with Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's) aspirations that golf should not be an exclusive game but an inclusive game where even school students can play," he told reporters after the soft launch of the tournament at the Mines Resort & Golf Club in Seri Kembangan, near here, Tuesday.

Anwar said currently seven schools in the Klang Valley, three in Sabah and one each in Kedah, Johor and Sarawak are involved with MGA's development programme which is a good move for the association to churn out a pool of talented golfers at the young age.

He also pointed out that most of their 170 affiliates had started their junior development programme to give Malaysians a chance to play golf at their club house.

"If you look at the population of golfers in the country, apart from the challenges of clubhouse are facing such as high maintenance, it is also important for us to make golf affordable to everyone," he added. – Bernama
