Here’s some real good news for all golf enthusiasts. GolfingIndian.com is back with their fourth edition of the prestigious ‘India Golf Awards’ which recognizes and rewards the game’s best ambassadors across the spectrum. The award ceremony, which will be held on the 6^th of March, is backed by title sponsor Take Solutions and continues to be the hallmark of excellence in Indian golf, bringing together well known players, industrialists, policy makers and avid supporters of the game.

Over the past two years, our golfers have put India on the global map through their exploits on the course. Anirban Lahiri gave the game a big impetus when he marched confidently to the PGA TOUR while Aditi Ashok followed the feat by becoming the Rookie of the season on the Ladies European Tour and earned an LPGA card. These efforts have inspired a wave of winning performances by SSP Chawrasia and Gaganjeet Bhullar and we now have five women on the Ladies European Tour.
