As we conclude the PGF Hazara Junior Amateur Golf Championship 2026 at PIFFERS Golf & Country Club, Abbottabad, the Pakistan Golf Federation takes this opportunity to honor and celebrate all fathers, grandfathers, and father figures whose unwavering support plays a vital role in the development of young golfers across the country. Behind every junior golfer's journey are countless sacrifices, early morning practice sessions, long hours of travel, encouragement during challenges, and celebrations of success. The commitment and dedication shown by parents, particularly fathers, continue to inspire the next generation of golfers and contribute significantly to the growth of the sport in Pakistan. The Pakistan Golf Federation extends its sincere appreciation to all fathers who invest their time, energy, and support in helping young athletes pursue their dreams both on and off the golf course. On this special occasion, we thank you for your invaluable contribution to the game and wish you a very Happy Father's Day.

In accordance with the directions of the Pakistan Sports Board and in line with Pakistan Golf Federation's commitment to transparency, fairness and athlete welfare, comprehensive age verification of participating junior golfers has been conducted for the first time through an independent dental age assessment process. The objective of this exercise is to ensure that every player competes in the correct age category and that championship titles, rankings and prizes are awarded strictly according to eligibility criteria. Following the age verification process, a small number of participants were identified as being above the maximum age limit prescribed for the junior categories. To ensure fairness to all competitors, Pakistan Golf Federation has created a separate category for these players during the current championship and a compensation plan has been approved for this event only. It is clarified that, effective from future championships, players found to be outside the prescribed age limits will not be eligible for junior category prizes, titles or rankings. Players who have concerns regarding their age verification results may submit a formal written application to Pakistan Golf Federation for review. Each case will be considered on its merits in accordance with the established review procedure. Pakistan Golf Federation remains committed to protecting the integrity of junior golf and providing a fair competitive environment for all young athletes. ⛳ "Fair Competition Begins with Fair Eligibility." #PakistanGolfFederation #PGF #HazaraJuniorChampionship #JuniorGolf #FairPlay #SportsIntegrity #PakistanSportsBoard #GolfPakistan #Abbottabad
