Indian Golf Premier League: Buoyed by the recent success of young amateur players, the Indian Golf Union, which has also been receiving active support and funding from the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs, has spread its activities to include ‘Training the Trainers’ and ‘Growing the Game’ in its programmes.

The support from the government for the game of golf has been a big boost for the IGU. The Sports Ministry has been very generous in backing the golfers ahead of the Olympic Games in Paris.

The IGU, which is an affiliate member of the Confederation of Professional Golf (CPG), an association of National PGAs, has through its wing, the National Golf Academy of India (NGAI), also brought in an international trainer to have special sessions to update their teaching professionals and coaches to update and upgrade their knowledge.
