MST Golf Academy was appointed the Golf Instruction Provider and facilitator for the PGM Academy in 2012 and has successfully graduated the first intake of students with each student earning their PGM Tour Card for 2013. Here’s what some of the 2012 graduates had to say:
Farid Rashid
I was seeking for guidance and this academy had really answered my call. I have successfully improved my skills, fitness, game plan, distance, attitude, discipline and also my emotional strength.
Keegan Kam
The structure of the whole program is really good where it prepares us for life on the golf tour. For instance, waking up as early as six in the morning and training everyday till six in the evening instantly increases the self-discipline and endurance of a person, subsequently sets up the right persona and attitude towards becoming a true professional.
Mohamed Firdaus
The facilities provided by the program itself, is sufficient to accommodate serious golfers who see golf as a career. Furthermore, the experience gained by playing with professional golfers on the PGM Tour is priceless and should be taken advantage of by the next intake of students.
Ong Jay Vie
I would like to express my appreciation to Ian Triggs, Stewart Ginn, Dean Hartman and his strong team from the MST Golf Academy. They are the soul of this academy and did a 6 months super great job for “polishing” us from a rough stone to a diamond.
