Golfers from Penang, Perlis, Kedah and Perak teed off at Penang Golf Resort, Impian Golf & Country Club, Permaipura Golf & Country Club, and Royal Perak Golf Club respectively — all eyeing a coveted spot at the PNAGS National Final at Saujana Golf & Country Club from Sept 28-30.

But there's more at stake than just domestic bragging rights. Winners from the national final will go on to represent Malaysia at the World Amateur Golfers Championship (WAGC) World Final in Jeju Island, South Korea, from Oct 31-Nov 8. "We're proud to see such overwhelming participation from the Northern states," said PNAGS organising chairman Lokman Ishak. "The level of competition is rising, and it's clear Malaysia's amateur golfers are hungry to shine on the world stage." The series now moves to Sabah and Sarawak, with upcoming qualifiers set for Shan Shui Golf & Country Resort and Kelab Golf Bintulu.
