The first ever
Chandigarh Golf Club Power drive Open Challenge will be conducted at the club
on 5th August, Sunday. This Long Drive Championship is very
common worldwide but this concept is at its infancy in India. This first ever
Championship is the Brainchild of club President Birinder Singh Gill who said
“we all strive to hit the ball long and Chandigarh historically has produced a
number of professionals who have also consistently been one the longest hitters
of the ball. So we decided to start this championship with the idea to popularize
this concept and also to create awareness of the importance of distance in
golf. This long drive Championship is open to Members and Non-Members of the
club, Children, Gentlemen, Ladies, Amateurs as well as Professional Golfers”.
The
children’s category will have 5 divisions each for boys and girls (A,B,C,D,E),
the Gentlemen and Ladies category will also have 5 divisions each (18+, 40+,
60+, 75+, 80+), the Professional category will have one division. Distance
markers will be put at every 25 yards starting from 50 yards onwards till 350
yards. For the distance to be counted the ball would have to be in the fairway.
Tee no.10 would be used for all divisions of
Gentlemen, Professionals, and A category Juniors. Tee No.1 would be used
for all divisions of Ladies, Seniors and category B to E Juniors. Over 150
participants are expected to participate from all over the region. Golf Balls
