Dianne recently won the Asia Pacific Junior title at Kuching. She is only 14 , with handicapp 5. Recently GA manage to talk to her dad (Joseph Luke , who works at Sarawak Shell in MIri ) who was posing a big smile when GA congratulate him on her recent success. Only now ,some golf governing body has ecame forward to sponsor her travelling and competition expenses.
Dianne is a success story of Kelab GOlf Miri Junior programme. And she is not the only one. Other rising stars like Alvin , Calvin , Abg Izzul or even Dianne little brother are also starts to shine.
GA is a bit concern on the Govt role in developing young talents in golf. More have been said and done. If only talents like Dianne are being notice in the USA , GA is pretty sure she will be enrolled into a sports college. But not many malaysian parents can afford to that. Some even stop school to concentrate on golf.
Is there ayone out there willing to put your money on Dianne ? I would. In time , she will be the household name in Asia. My prediction is when she reaches 18 , she will be in the LPGA circuit. Now some might call me a dreamer . Hey ! why not...
Come on Malaysians , dont just sit there and say Malaysia Boleh !
