Message from the Queen Sirikit Cup Secretariat
|
It is my great honor to send my message to all participants, supporters and organizers on the 30th Anniversary of the Queen Sirikit Cup for Asia-Pacific Ladies Invitational Golf Team Championship. Many of you who have been involved in this prestigious tournament either as team members, coaches, captains, supporters, organizers or sponsors, will no doubt share my pride and happiness that the Queen Sirikit Cup has now reached a new milestone of uninterrupted 30 years.
When I first proposed the idea of this team championship in 1979, it never occurred to me that the ball would be kept rolling this far. I feel most grateful that golf officials of our member countries have shared my vision to make the game of golf a great way to build lasting friendship, sportsmanship and at the same time help
raise the standard of ladies golf in our part of the world.
As I look back through all the years, I feel more convinced that the Queen Sirikit Cup championship has been a successful tournament because of the dedication and commitment of member associations and their officials. There were times and occasions that we were faced with doubts and unexpected situations, but somehow we all put extra efforts to help overcome such drawbacks. The friendship and cooperation I have received from various organizers and supporters during the past 30 years have given me continued encouragement while the success of many former team players who are now world-class professionals would undoubtedly inspire today’s players to set their goal for the future.
On this special occasion I would like to dedicate the success of the championship to the Founder President of Thailand Ladies Golf Association, Mom Kob Kaew Abhakara, who was responsible for obtaining H.M. the Queen of Thailand’s Royal permission to have the challenge cup in Her name and for having been present to support all events during the first decade. I also wish to thank Japan Golf Association and the R&A for coming to my rescue to host this tournament out of turn at the last moment. I may readily say that our Womens’ Spirit can be kept flying high because of the gentlemen’s kind understanding and continued support for ladies’ golf.
May the Queen Sirikit Cup Golf Team Championship be kept rolling by all concerned into many more decades to come.
