    Kejohanan Golf MSSM 2011 akan diadakan pada 15 -17 Mac selama 3 hari berturut-turut. Pada tahun ini Negeri Selangor Darul Ishan telah diberi penghormatan untuk mengelolakan Pertandingan peringkat Kebangsaan.  Pada mesyuarat PTPS negeri yang sama semua negeri telah mengesahkan penyertaan mereka termasuk Wilayah Perskutuan Labuan yang akan menghantar pemainnya sendiri yang berasingan dengan Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur pada tahun ini. Mesyuarat PTPS Golf  MSSM negeri tempohari diadakan di salah sebuah hotel dekat Klang.

    Lawatan dan tempahan padang pertandingan juga sudah dibuat oleh tuan rumah Selangor, semua pemain dari semua negeri yang akan mengambil bahagian akan berkampung di dua Arena pertandingan iaitu Pemain lelaki akan bermain di Padang Golf Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah, Shah Alam Selangor sementara itu pemain perempuan akan berkampung di Padang Golf Monterez Shah Alam Selangor selama 4 hari berturut-turut termasuk Latihan Pusingan pada 14 Febuari iaitu sehari lebih awal sebelum pertandingan.

3 Kategori untuk lelaki dan 3 kategori untuk perempuan akan dipertandingkan. Lelaki bawah 18, 15 dan 12, serta perempuan 18, 15 dan 12. Untuk menjimatkan masa maka pertandingan ini akan dimulakan secara "Shot-gun" dan sekiranya berlaku "Tie" pada akhir pertandingan maka pemenangnya akan dikira menggunakan sistem "OCB" (on Count Back)

 Pihak Persatuan Golf Malaysia sudah pasti akan sekali lagi memainkan peranan yang sangat penting seperti sebelumnya sepanjang tempoh kejohanan nanti kerana hanya MGA lah satu-satunya badan yang bertauliah menyediakan pengadil dan referi dalam kejohanan sehingga peringkat ini.  Sementara itu "Caddy" akan disediakan oleh Pihak Kelab Golf yang terlibat.

Penyelaras Sukan dan Kokurikulum dari bahagian Sukan Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia  (gambar sebelah) En. Mohamad Abdul Karim melahirkan harapan tinggi beliau agar Pengelolaan kejohanan pada tahun ini akan lebih berjaya dan dapat mencungkil bakat-bakat baru untuk diketengahkan pada sukan antara sekolah-sekolah Asian nanti yang akan diadakan di Singapura, beliau juga berharap negeri-negeri yang mengambil bahagian menyediakan pemain-pemain yang berkualiti supaya pertandingan menjadi lebih bermutu.

Golfing for fun and as a career

KUCHING: The younger generation can now take up golf either as recreation or a profession, Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr George Chan said.

A sport that could be played well into one’s retirement years compared to football and tennis where the pros rarely continued beyond their 40s, golf defied this age barrier, making it suitable as a long and productive career, he added.

“Golf has become popular globally as it brings lucrative prizes,” Dr Chan said at the welcoming dinner for the 12th Sarawak International Junior Golf Championship, The Chief Minister’s Cup at the Kelab Golf Sarawak (KGS) on Monday.

One hundred and nine young golfers from Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand are taking part in the three-day tournament with 10 categories.

It enters the second day today.

The Deputy Chief Minister said assembling these young golfers (73 boys and 36 girls) from around the region for this tournament would not only encourage young local golfers to take up the sport but also promote sports tourism in the state.

He noted that some of the junior golfers who had played in Sarawak had broken through to the professional ranks by playing in the PGA and he believed with perseverance, they could become champions one day.

He said the Sarawak International Junior Golf Championship, The Chief Minister’s Cup, held here for the 12th year, was gaining momentum as of the anticipated junior events.

“You will get recognition by playing in the Chief Minister’s Cup which is fast becoming a choice junior event.”

Dr Chan suggested players from other countries interested play in Kuching should be helped to acquire special flight fares.

“We should get more Koreans or Taiwanese to train here and join in our competitions to make Sarawak well known as a golfing destination in the region,” he said.

Mickelson says he's in a good place, expects a big season

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — A day after Phil Mickelson nearly holed out from the fairway on the final hole to force a playoff in Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines on Sunday, there was nary a hint of disappointment in his voice as he recapped his runner-up finish and talked of the rest of 2011.

Which isn't surprising, considering Mickelson — whose reputation for daring and aggressive play has been well earned during a career of recovery shots from between trees and over water hazards — rarely dwells on letdowns.

Last year, however, tested Mickelson's recuperative powers like no other.

A week after the U.S. Open, Mickelson woke up in so much pain that the slightest touch delivered agonizing anguish. A week later the pain was so severe he couldn't even take a backswing with the golf club. For the rest of the year, Mickelson said he lost about 20% of his strength.

AT A GLANCE: This week in golf

And during this time, his wife, Amy, and mother, Mary, were still in treatment for breast cancer.

"It was a tough time, a very tough time," said Mickelson, who this week is making his 22nd start in the Waste Management Phoenix Open, which he won in 1996 and 2005. "You think of the future, about golf, about the kid.

"You think about everything."

Mickelson eventually was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and, with the proper medication, has the affliction under control. His wife and mother are also on the mend and doing quite well. And ditching his stab at a vegetarian diet — "We knew that was doomed from the beginning," Mickelson said — has put protein back on his plate and helped him regain strength.

All of which adds up to Mickelson saying he hopes 2011 ends up being what he thought 2010 would be after his thrilling win in the Masters, his lone victory last year.

"Amy and I are in a much better place right now, and that means so much," Mickelson said. "We both feel so much better and we both have a lot of things going our way. That's why I'm so excited about this year."

So much so that Mickelson began preparations a week earlier than usual, beating the new year to the golf course. His work with coaches Butch Harmon, Dave Stockton and Dave Pelz on all things swing dealt solely with refinement instead of change.

Things looked back to normal at Torrey Pines, where Mickelson, in his Tour debut, was near the top of the leaderboard and Amy was in the gallery, walking all but nine of her husband's 72 holes for the first time since The Players in 2009.

"For all of his life Phil has felt like he was in control of things. And then things happen and all of a sudden you don't have the slightest idea what to do or what is going to happen," Amy said. "But he is such a resilient person. He always has been. And everything is so much better now."

Mickelson said as much many times last week.

"I didn't finish the year last year the way I wanted to, and I wanted to start the year off with a win," Mickelson said. "I wanted to get some moment on the west coast, and I feel like I really need to get a "W" and perform and come through on Sunday heading into Augusta in a couple of months.

"But on the other hand, I played really good golf and gave myself an opportunity. Played well on Sunday and had a good tournament. Hopefully, I'll use this as a springboard for (Phoenix).
