SAM Media Corporate Charity Golf – A Day of Fun-Filled Golf


The SAM Media Corporate Charity Golf Tournament 2019 brought together nearly 80 members from the media and industry captains as well as the golf fraternities from Perak, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Sarawak, Johor, Singapore, South Korea and Belgium who teed up raising funds on the brand new fairways and greens of the Classic Course at Forest City Golf Resort. The tournament was organised by Johor Golf Tourism Association (JGTA) for Sportswriters Association of Malaysia (SAM) to raise funds for the latter.

“JGTA and Forest City Golf Resort staged this charity event in Johor as part of our on-going initiatives to promote golf tourism in Johor Darul Ta’zim as well as to stimulate the tourism businesses in the state in general. Meanwhile, it is also a very good opportunity to roll out our Visit Johor 2020 campaign and jumps start all the programmes and events which we have in the pipeline next year. This is a very good joint-collaborative event and JGTA is excited to organise this tournament for SAM, ” said Col. Mohd Jamal Salleh, Johor Golf Tourism Association’s President

En Jasni Shafie, President of SAM said, “Our noble intention is to raise funds for the needy including our members and some charity bodies in Malaysia. We feel that this tournament will be a great platform for the convergence of key industry leaders, golf fraternities, and the Media to help raise charity alongside building good networking and relationship for future collaborative initiatives.”

Jasni added further, “This is SAM’s first collaboration with JGTA and Forest City Golf Resort as we wish to stage the tournament at the newest golf course in the country whilst attracting some Singaporeans and Koreans to come and play in the tournament. We had very good response from Singapore and as far as Sarawak to partake in the tournament. Aside from staging this tournament as part of SAM’s 50th Anniversary, the event is also seen as rolling out the Visit Truly Asia Malaysia 2020 and Visit Johor 2020 Campaigns and are very pleased that many local and international golfers are taking part in our humble yet meaningful event to participate for the joy of playing golf and at the same time doing their fair share of charity as well.”
