The event was organised by the Amateur Golfers Society (AGS) — a non-governmental organization committed to promoting golf in the region. The tournament brought together 72 passionate golfers, competing across two handicap categories: 10–15 and 16 & above.
In the 10–15 handicap category, Brig. Manoj Rajp secured the runner-up spot with a score of 80, followed by Parveen Virdi as the second runner-up with a score of 86.
In the 16 & Above handicap category, Col. N.K. Mehta claimed the runner-up position with a score of 77, while A.K. Jindal completed the podium as second runner-up with a score of 78.
The tournament also featured individual skill challenges. Amrinder Singh won the Longest Drive with an impressive 270-yard shot. S.S. Prasad, IAS(Retd.), claimed the Straightest Drive title with a shot measuring 1 foot, and Col. N.K. Mehta secured the Highest Birdies title by carding six birdies during his round. A birdie in golf means scoring one stroke under par on a hole.
Commending the initiative, Chief Guest Rakesh Goyal, Chairman of RERA Punjab, said, “I commend the organisers for hosting such a fantastic tournament and creating a valuable platform for both young and seasoned golfers. Organising more such events in the region will help discover hidden talent and further promote the golfing culture.”
