The highly anticipated 13th DGC Junior/Sub-Junior Golf Tournament 2023, sponsored by USHA, is set to commence tomorrow at the iconic Delhi Golf Club in New Delhi. This prestigious three-day event, scheduled from July 19th to July 21st, will feature 100 talented golfers between the ages of 8 and 21.

To mark the beginning of the tournament, the first tee-off will be ceremoniously performed by DGC Club Champion Pratap Atwal, who also holds the title of Walter Locke Matchplay champion.
As an ultimate test of skill, focus, and determination, the tournament will witness the participation of the most promising young golfers, including renowned talents such as Sharanya Agarwal from New Jersey, USA (handicap-1), Kashika Mishra (handicap-2), Chaitanya Pandey (the youngest Indian winner of European US Kids 2019), and Sandeep Kadian (Winner DGC Juniors/Sub-Juniors Golf Tournament 2022), among others.
