Tan Sri Muhyiddin Charity Golf (TSMCG) came to being in 2003 as a non-profit, non-govermental organisation with a two-pronged objective of doing charity through golf and developing local young golfing talents into players of international standing.
In the five years since, TSMCG has successfully organised fund-rising golf events at home and abroad, in particular Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia, where the money raised thereof were utilised in aid of needy Malaysian students studying in these three countries.
Others who have also benefited from TSMCG numerous charity drives thus far include victims of natural disasters, homes for elderly, the infirmed and the destitute, orphanages and underprivileged children.
The year 2008 sees TSMCG embarking on yet another mission – to raise enough funds to set up dialysis center offering much needed treatment (either for free or at a nominal cost) to deserving patient.
ON THE TIGER’S TRAIL
TSMCG is also committed to developing the game of golf among talented Malaysian youngsters. It feels the need to create a pool of new generation golfers whose talents can be professionally honed to excel at international level.
This is in view of the current scenario where many Asian golfers are taking the golf world by storm, with countries like Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan and Thailand churning out world-class players like never before.
The search for home-grown young “Tigers” began in earnest in 2006 when TSMCG, working in tandem with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Malaysian Golf Association (MGA) and the Malaysian Ladies Golf Association (MALGA), organised a threee-day tournament for budding talents between 12 and 25 years old.
The encouraging response to the inaugural tournament, from 60 participants in 2006 to 120 the following year, has promted TSMCG to turn this event into a permanent feature of the organisation. It has since recieved MGA’s official sanction and is now officially listed in MGA annual calendar events.
