KAHIGAMA Golf Invitational 2025: Where Leaders Tee Off for a Cause
Golf may be known for its precision and poise, but at the upcoming Jakarta Diplomatic Drive: KAHIGAMA Golf Invitational 2025, the stakes go far beyond a hole-in-one. On Saturday, April 26, 2025, the pristine fairways of Imperial Klub Golf in Tangerang will play host to a one-of-a-kind event where diplomacy, charity, and camaraderie converge.
The inaugural tournament, hosted by the Alumni Association of International Relations from Universitas Gadjah Mada (KAHIGAMA), is designed not merely as a competition—but as a platform. It’s where diplomats, government officials, business leaders, and international figures gather to build bridges in a relaxed, informal setting.
“It’s not just about the perfect swing—it’s about meaningful collaboration,” — Erry Sunarli, Chairman of the Organizing Committee
Diplomacy in 18 Holes
The guest list reads like a who’s who of Indonesia’s political and business elite. Former Minister of Trade and Tourism Mari Elka Pangestu, former Minister of Tourism Sandiaga Uno, Nusantara Capital Authority Head Basuki Hadimuljono, and Deputy Foreign Minister Arrmanatha Nasir are all confirmed. Several ambassadors, both domestic and foreign, are also expected to join the green.
Ni Made Ayu Marthini, KAHIGAMA Chairwoman and Deputy Minister of Marketing at the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, emphasizes the strategic nature of the event.
“This is a unique platform to reconnect alumni with diplomats—but more importantly, we want to create tangible impact through scholarships and clean water access,” she said.
From Tee-Off to Transformative Impact
True to its elevated nature, the KAHIGAMA Golf Invitational blends high-profile networking with high-impact goals. Participants aren’t just playing for trophies—they’re contributing to two noble causes: scholarships for International Relations students at UGM and the Delivering Clean Water for Public initiative.
“We want to leave behind more than just memories—we want to spark change,” — Erry Sunarli
