For the first time, Top-Ranked NCAA Division 1 golf coaches in Manila to scout junior golfing talent

Junior golfers in the Philippines will get a chance this December to showcase their game and talent and possibly get recruited to some of the best universities in the world!
DreamBig Events, a sports events company dedicated to providing a positive, motivating and 
challenging platform for young athletes living in Asia to improve their sporting skills is bringing 
world-class golf coaches for the first time in Asia. Its Gold Series Golf Camp, headlined as The Road To U.S. College Golf, is open to junior golfers aged 12 to 18 years old and will be held at the Orchard Golf & Country Club on December 17 and 18, 2019.

Golf Coaches from topmost schools in the US NCAA Division 1 – UCLA (University of California – Los Angeles), Columbia University and UC Berkeley – will run the two-day golf clinic while 
actively watching the young golfers participate in the 2-day FCG Golf Tournament.
At the camp, campers will experience guided range and short game sessions that will allow them to 
sharpen their practice and pre-tournament routines. They will be given instruction that will help them expand their course management skills and prepare them for competition, as well as expose them to US coaching styles and competition at a higher level. The camp is limited to 30 participants only to 
enable personalized and customized instruction for each athlete.
“This is an exceptional opportunity for young golfers to interact with world-class coaches and 
glimpse the future of how their game can evolve and take them to places they’ve never been before. 
Learning under these top-calibre coaches is a privilege that only a few can experience, and to have 
them right here in Manila to train and teach them is a big advantage in terms of savings on time and 
travel expenses,” said Akshay Maliwal, Founder and CEO of DreamBig Events. 
Maliwal explained that the camp opens up the pathway to college golf in the U.S., which in turn will help athletes develop their athleticism and prepare them to compete on the world stage while they 
become a legitimate part of the US College athletics ecosystem.
“These camps do not just hone young athletes’ skills, they introduce and familiarize athletes with the college recruiting process and lets them experience, even for two days, a day in the life of a college 
athlete at a top academic and athletic university,” Maliwal added.
DreamBig Events has been working with coaches from top NCAA Division 1 and Division 3 
universities such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, UC Berkeley, UCLA, University of 
Pennsylvania, Brown, New York University, Tufts and Carnegie Mellon University, 
Claremont-Mckenna, Johns Hopkins University, among others, for the last three years. 
“Asia, the Philippines in particular, is rich in golfing talent that only needs to be discovered and 
honed. All young talents need is one big break to change their lives and put this region on the world map of golf. It all begins in camps like these. And because our camps offer a wide array of activities, campers have fun as they learn all the good stuff,” Maliwal said.
