AJGL’s Jashn-e-Azadi golf series concludes

LAHORE : In a patriotic bid to hoist the national flag higher, the Ace Junior Golf League (AJGL) celebrated Jashn-e-Azadi with a series of Azadi Matches across the country in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Peshawar. Around 134 junior golfers registered and 116 competed. “The AJGL progressive regimen is a telling observation,” Lt Gen Hilal Hussain, patron-in-Chief AJGL mentioned.

The growing number of juniors’ participation is a source of pride for AJGL Chairperson Dr. Asma Afzal Shami, echoing her deep commitment to the golf and its development in Pakistan.

Reflecting on the Azadi matches, the Lahore Azadi match held at Gymkhana Club was marked by the Club’s signature hospitality. The unwavering support of Shaukat Javed, Convener of Lahore Gymkhana Golf Club, has been instrumental in fully sponsoring, thus, establishing AJGL Monthly Medal matches and an Azadi match as a permanent fixture in the Club, thus cementing the foundation of the Ace Junior Golf League.

It is pertinent to mention that the Garrison Greens in Lahore also holds a special significance in the history of the Ace Junior Golf League, as it was the venue for the inaugural event, marked by a lively atmosphere.
