Up next:
The inaugural ₹2 crore Indorama Ventures Open Golf Championship takes place this week from April 9-12 at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Kalhaar Blues & Greens Golf Club in Ahmedabad, which boasts perhaps the best golf course in India, and inarguably the best clubhouse.
Playing world-class championship layouts like Jaypee Greens last week and Kalhaar this week is a boost for the PGTI as they are closer to the international courses our players face, when they compete overseas.
