Defending champion Guntash Sandhu along with other 99 golfers will be vying for top honours during the 29th Punjab open ladies golf championship which will take place at the Chandigarh Golf Club course from November 14 to 16.
Considered among the biggest amateur ladies’ golf tournaments in North India, the tournament will serve as an ideal platform to highlight existing talent and encourage upcoming juniors and potential lady golfers, according to Chandigarh Golf Club lady captain, Rima Dhillon. She adds, “Golfers from cities like Noida, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Bhubhneswar, and Delhi will be seen in action during the tournament. We are hoping to have an action-packed three-day contest.” This will be a three-day, 54-hole event with the cut applied after two rounds, 36-holes. This year, 20 juniors will participate in the event, showcasing the upcoming young talent of the region.
According to the organisers, there won’t be any cash rewards but prizes will be given to participants and winners. There will be awards for the best juniors, super-seniors and senior players. The women golfers have been preparing at the club course a week ahead of the tournament.
