Grant Moir, the Executive Director – Governance, at R&A was very optimistic about Munazza’s capabilities, elaborating, “It’s great when we have people come through the levels and be given the opportunity to referee at an international event like this and this in itself is a great opportunity to learn from the experienced referees who are here. I’m sure Munazza will take an awful lot from this.
Hopefully, she is going back with a lot more knowledge, experience and ideas that she can put into practice back home in Pakistan.” Munazza Shaheen’s refereeing colleagues who came from different countries including China, Japan, Korea & New Zealand expressed that there are many in their countries who have been refereeing for years aren’t yet invited to this event, and she is getting this invitation within 8 months of her Level 3 certification is a big achievement. Munazza, in an acknowledgment statement stated, “The prestigious International experience would not have been gained without the whole hearted support of my family. I am grateful to Mr. Taimur Hassan, President APGC, who was respected & was well received by other officials, for extending all possible facilitation. Col. Zahid, who has always been there to guide & advise me. She expressed, “Dr. Asma Shami is my mentor, I derive all my strength from her and she was with me in spirit every step of the way, both on and off the golf course. I am highly grateful to her. She also stated, “I had the pleasure of meeting Brig. Sajjad Akram, Secretary, PGF, who acknowledged my success inducing hard work and assured me that PGF will continue to facilitate and promote my efforts. I feel humbled and expressed my gratitude to PGF who has been in full support of all the achievements so far!
Pakistan is a land full of talent, given opportunities, the talent blooms and it is individuals like Munazza Shaheen, who play a vital role in projecting Pakistan, particularly the soft image of Pakistan to the outside world.
