India Learn Golf Week set to tee off
Delhi and the National Capital Region will lead the way in the Indian Learn Golf Week, a nationwide initiative to draw new talent to the game with five venues having registered to participate in the weeklong programme.
The Siri Fort Driving Range in Delhi, Golden Greens, Hamoni Driving Range, Karma Lakeland in Gurgaon as well as Jaypee Greens Golf Resort in Noida will see beginner lessons imparted by qualified coaches based on the Professional Golfer’s Association of America curriculum, from September 25 to October 1.
Speaking at the Siri Fort Driving Range, veteran golf professional and former Asian Tour player Amandeep Johl said, “India Learn Golf Week is a great initiative. I think a lot more Indians need to start taking up this game. There are a lot of myths about golf, which we intend to break with this initiative of ILGW and the aim is to make the game more and more accessible probably as much as any other sport. Golf can be played alone as well as with your family and it is meant for all age groups.”
Johl will be one of the coaches imparting golf lessons during the ILGW. A total of 26 venues across 15 cities of the country will host the initiative with Bengaluru matching the national capital region in terms of host venues.
The ILGW is being supported by five industry bodies led by the Golf Industry Association as well as star Asian Tour professionals like Gaganjeet Bhullar and Rahil Gangjee among others.
The ILGW aims to attract 100,000 new golfers over a period of five years and is open to all.
