honour the greats of the game.
in announcing this milestone development,
mike sebastian, managing director of Asia
Pacific Golf development Conferences
(APGdC), the owner and producer of the
highly acclaimed Asia Pacific Golf summit
said,“Asia now has its own heroes of golf
and the time has come to honour these
men and women for their outstanding
contributions to golf and to the growth of
the game in the region.”
“this prestigious recognition will be
bestowed upon individuals who are still
active in competition and those who have
retired from competitive play,” sebastian
explained.
According to him, a total of six names were
submitted to the review panel and three
have been selected. When asked to identify
the three, sebastian replied,“this will be
announced at the Gala dinner during the
Asia Pacific Golf summit and i can assure
you that each hero selected fully deserves
the recognition.”
negotiations are currently underway with
the government of thailand and a major
golf course developer to permanently
house the Hall of Fame in Bangkok.“We
expect to have this decision by end June,”
sebastian pointed out.
