In his closing remarks, Yang Berhormat Datuk Dr. Ahmad Fadzli bin Ahmad Tajuddin, Chairman of the Selangor Golf Development Committee (PGNS) and State Secretary of Selangor, praised the young golfers for their dedication and sportsmanship. “Golf teaches values that extend far beyond the fairways – integrity, patience, focus, and respect. These are traits that build not only great athletes, but also responsible citizens and future leaders,” he said.
He reiterated the Committee’s commitment, together with PKNS Golf Management Services, to position Selangor as a leading hub for junior golf excellence by nurturing young talent and expanding competitive opportunities. The success of the Selangor Junior Masters 2025 marks a meaningful step toward that goal, reflecting Kelab Golf Seri Selangor’s vision to be recognised as a Centre of Excellence for Golf, one that develops skills, character, and international exposure for the next generation of golfers.
