“For the first time ever, we’re bringing the top university coaches in Manila. The Golf Camp features Columbia University, UCLA, and UC Berkeley,” DreamBig Founder, Akshay Maliwal said.

Junior golfers 12 to 18 year olds are invited to participate in one or both of the Gold Series Golf Camp and the Golf Challenger Series, where the coaches will be present and may offer scholarship for talented junior golfers. 

The Golf Challenger Series will be held in The Orchard Golf and Country Club in Manila on December 16 and 17, while the Gold Series Golf Camp will be on December 17 and 18 at the same venue.

Maliwal also revealed in a surprise announcement that the FCG-Dream Big Qualifier Tournament will be held before the camp. It will be a two-day tournament and top finishers from different age brackets will get a direct invite in the FC Callaway World Junior Golf Championship 2020 in California on July 13 to 15. 

Maliwal advised budding Filipino junior golfers, who aspire to become the next global icon to attend the camps. 

“The first step is to go to the camps. The second, if you’re really interested, is summer tours,” he said “The first step is the camp, and it is happening here in Manila.” 

Maliwal concluded that his dream is to help student athletes get a scholarship in the US. 

“If I can help student athletes get a scholarship to US colleges? That is my dream,” Maliwal concluded. 

The cost for the Golf Challenger Series is $400 and the Gold Series Golf Camp at $500.
