Seven countries have confirmed to participate at the Southeast Asia Amateur Golf Team Championship (SAAGTC) 2012, held at Emeralda Golf Club, Cimanggis, from August 28 to 31.
Brunei Darussalam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia are ready to compete for the Putra Cup, Lion Cup, and Santi Cup that are this year organized by the Indonesia Golf Association (PGI).
"Although we do not offer cash prizes, but only a trophy and the challenge cup, the participants will not play halfheartedly. Because it is an annual event that carries the name of the country so it is very prestigious," said PB PGI Vice Chairman, HMP Simatupang.
Simatupang added that only seven, but 12 countries are expected to perform. But until the deadline (27/8), Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam had not reported to the organizers of SAAGTC 2012.
"The tournament is not individual, but a team event. In addition to successfully hosting this event, Indonesia is also hoping to become the overall champion. Because the majority of players that appear will also participate in the National Sports Week (PON) in Riau, from 9 to 20 September 2012," he continued.
Meanwhile, the President Director of Emeralda Golf Club, Wahyu Afandi Aaron, guaranteed the club is ready to host the match. Preparations for this event have been ongoing since March.
"Earlier this year in March we successfully held the Indonesia Open. As a fact, there have been no complaints at all of any of the participants. Additionally, next month we will host a junior amateur tournament and the ASEAN Golf Federation Meeting consecutively," he concluded.
