A humble victory for young Syed

JOHOR – 12 year old Syed Nor Ismail’s win at Asia Golfing Network “Daiman 18 Golf Challenge” last December proved that hardwork is the key to success

12 year old Syed Nor Ismail’s win at Asia Golfing Network “Daiman 18 Golf Challenge” last December proved that hardwork is the key to success. The teenager from Johor rolled in a score of 36 stableford points to defeat runner-up Nurfarahin Zamsari (18).

B.Rajakulasingham, the General Manager of Daiman 18 Golf was pleased with Ismail’s performance in the Junior category as Raja believes that he will inspire more juniors to play among adults in future tournaments. “Golf will steer his confidence to great heights and at the same time build his character in the long run. I’m happy for his win and let’s hope more parents will send their children to play more competitive golf. The turn out and support by the local community was great and we are happy that the event ended well. I take this opportunity to thank all the participants who came forward to support us and AGN,” said a happy Raja.
