Southern Cross Assurance Limited (SCAL) is excited to announce that we have been given the honor to be the Naming Rights Sponsor to this year’s PNG National Amateur Golf Championships which will be hosted by the Lae Golf Club from the 18th to the 21st of April.
The National Amateur Golf Championship is a PNG Golf Association (PNGGA) sanctioned tournament. Each year this annual tournament attracts about total 150 golfers from around Papua New Guinea looking to secure qualification and selection to represent PNG in other major PGA events, such as the PNG Open, and other regional PGA tournaments overseas such as the Asia Pacific Junior Golf Championship, and also the Pacific Games and Mini Pacific Games.
PNG Golf Association President, Ian Hodge said, “I would like to sincerely thank Southern Cross Assurance Limited for coming on board as the naming rights sponsor. Our main aim at this time is to generate enough funds to increase our junior kids’ participation and provide them the opportunity to compete at the national stage.”
“This is not the first time we have sponsored Golf and we would like to continue supporting amateur Golf. We are here to support PNGGA and the young golfers around the country. Last year, SCAL was also a major sponsor of the PNG Open, which was a huge success in which we look forward to continuing our support.” said SCAL Chairman Mr. Roxon Undi
As a locally owned company, we are committed to supporting initiatives that have a lasting, positive impact on our local communities. By partnering with PNGGA, we are showing our support towards the development of young and local talent so they may succeed in their golfing aspirations.
