By Alex How

Bandar Seri Begawan - The annual Panaga Amateur Open Golf Championship is back with more excitement this weekend from July 2-4 with the theme "Go for it".

Coming into its 39th season, the Panaga Amateur Open, a tournament sanctioned by Brunei Darussalam Golf Association, is steadily growing in stature over the years.

As one of the pioneer top amateur open golf championships in Brunei that was first held in 1966, this event has always been well supported by golfers from all ages.

This year, a combined total of 190 players, men (handicap 18 and below) and ladies (handicap 28 and below) representing golf clubs from Brunei and Malaysia have registered for the meet.

Among the top players taking part are Seruji Hj Setia, Pg Adam Bin Pg Atan, Suhaimi bin Ibrahim of Pantai Menteri Golf Club; Maurice Wong, Robert William and Young Yin Chong of Panaga Golf Club (PGC) and Michell Ping (ladies category), Lee Kah Chieng and Kelana bin Ibrahim of Kelab Golf Miri.

Priscilla Wong of PGC will be defending her title in the ladies category.

There will be an array of fantastic prizes to be won on each day, including the much-awaited lucky draws in the final round, and not forgetting the hole-in-one prizes.

The meet will be played over three days but only the best 36 men and 12 ladies will be playing on the final day.

Hj Mohd Musa bin Hj Suhaili, Tournament Director, was delighted with the huge support from the sponsors.

It has certainly raised the profile of the event and made it an even more attractive tournament for the players. He would like to thank all the sponsors for their support. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
