SHAH ALAM, 13 August 2020 – The Selangor State
Government through its official Tourism Promotion Agency, Tourism Selangor is
on gear-5 towards resetting the
State’s tourism industry post Covid-19. The outbreak has confronted the world
and brought forth an unprecedented impact on people and economies on a global
scale. Tourism is undeniably one of the most-affected industries, and Tourism
Selangor strives to get back-up
having taken a step into the recovery phase.
In leveraging the diverse
tourism segmentation, Tourism Selangor has placed a substantial emphasis on
sports tourism, and golf undeniably constitutes a prominent significance in the
industry. Being Malaysia's leading
premier golf hub with 29 prestigious Golf Clubs across the State, the
State's unique core in golf tourism is set to foster Tourism Selangor’s
domestic tourism campaign; “Pusing Selangor Dulu” which kick-started on June 10th.
Right-up-the-alley, Tourism Selangor
is delighted to become the title sponsor for Selangor
Golf Classic 2020 - to be taking
place on 28 – 30 September 2020. Joining forces with Liberty Golf
Services, the first edition of the Tournament will showcase the budding
talent of over a 100 amateur golfers across Malaysia from local citizens and
expatriate community golfers, as well as golfers from Government and Corporate
bodies.
Selangor Golf Classic 2020 will descend on two of
Selangor’s prestigious and award-winning Golf Clubs for 2 competitive rounds of
golf with a modified System 36 –format. The first round will take place at The Mines Resort & Golf Club, while
Kota Permai Golf & Country Club
will play host to the much-anticipated finals.

One
of the highlights to Selangor Golf
Classic 2020 is the “Beat the Pro” segment held at Par 3 during the finals. The segment features an exclusive appearance by professional
golfers on which the contesting golfers will stand a chance to literally beat
the pro in the attempt to hit the bull’s
eye, or to strike a tee shot which comes to rest closest to the flag hole
and/or the pro’s resting tee. Half of the proceeds from the segment will go to charity. Among other activities
during the first and second rounds are booth set-ups by the Tournament’s partners/sponsors
including Tourism Selangor, and a dedicated golf lesson segment to a group of
orphaned children.
The Selangor State
Government through Tourism Selangor strives to achieve the 6 million mark in regard to the total tourist arrivals in 2020. Mr Azrul Shah Mohamad, General Manager
of Tourism Selangor in a statement shared, “Tourism Selangor aims to penetrate
into the segmentation of sports and golf tourism, which poses a vast potential
in drawing a significant number of tourists into the State, as well as
contributes prominently towards the State’s economy”.
“When there are golf
Tournaments or Championships taking place in the State, the contesting golfers,
families, and the Media will most likely explore nearby tourist attractions. With
such high involvement and peculiar attention, it will certainly benefit the
tourism industry in Selangor, and this is one of the fundamentals why the
segmentation of sports and golf tourism is one worth pursuing”, Mr Azrul Shah
added.
Compliance to the SOP is
one of the aspects given thoughtful emphasis and mechanism of execution to
ensure the safety of the golfers and the audience at Selangor Golf Classic 2020. There will be a mandatory body
temperature screening, self- declaration and check-in via mobile application, SElangkah: Langkah Masuk dengan Selamat, and a strict requirement on the use
of a face-mask for contesting golfers and supporters. Other SOPs include; the
number of golfers per flight is limited to 4, a minimum of 1 caddy is provided
for every two golfers, and only 2 persons are allowed on the buggy at a time.
