Singapore Golf Association and Vietnam Golf Association ink MOU  

Singapore Golf Association (SGA) and Vietnam Golf Association (VGA) have today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that aims to further the growth of golf in Singapore and Vietnam through closer cooperation between both associations.

Under this MOU, collaborative efforts between SGA and VGA will be boosted in three key areas- joint retreats, training camps for high-performance players and friendly matches.

The retreats will serve as a platform for management and board members from both associations to share experiences, best practices, and strategies for the development of golf in Singapore and Vietnam.

Training camps, held in either Singapore or Vietnam, and conducted by elite coaches and experts from both countries will focus on skill development, physical conditioning, and mental preparation for high-performance players.

Additionally, the annual friendly matches, hosted alternately by SGA and VGA, will promote cultural exchanges and interactions among players in a friendly and supportive environment while fostering sportsmanship.
