Young Talents at Junior Golf Clinic at Maybank Championship


More than 15 young aspiring Malaysian golfers were coached by world’s top golfers, Matt Wallace and Robert Rock in a special junior golf clinic held in conjunction with the third edition of the Maybank Championship.

The juniors aged between 6-15 were given pointers by both Wallace and Rock that covered topics including the importance of warm ups, fitness regimes as well as a glimpse of a golfer’s life on tour. The junior golf clinic was a rare momentous event for the young budding golfers as they had a chance to meet and learn from the professional golfers on how to improve their game skills. These young talents gave their full attention to the professionals as they shared their extensive knowledge on all things golf and answered queries from the junior golfers.

Shaiful Adri from SMK Taman Sea, who was one of the participants for this Junior Clinic said, “Meeting both Matt Wallace and Robert Rock have inspired me to practice everyday. I cannot wait to head over to the driving range after school to practice and work on my putting. It has been amazing to be able to personally meet the both of them.”

This 2-hour junior golf clinic was a resounding success, as the clinic combined both beginner and advanced juniors, whilst also giving newcomers the additional motivation to pursue golf as a sport.
