Sihet Sai-fon, known as "Pro It," General Manager of Robinswood Golf Club within the Reignwood Park project in Pathum Thani province, received the AGIF Rising Star Award from the Asian Golf Industry Federation (AGIF) to honor young talent under 40 who have made outstanding contributions to leadership, management, and golf industry development in Asia through management, innovation, education, sustainability, and community development.
