The NDTV AM Green IGPL Golf Pro-Am landed in Hyderabad on Saturday, for another round of high-class golf at the Hyderabad Golf Club. IGPL CEO Uttam Mendy was present at the venue, including the opening ceremony of Saturday’s event. In an exclusive chat with NDTV, Mundy reserved high praise for the golf on show, as well as for the picturesque venue. Mundy emphasized the importance of the intersection of different worlds for the global benefit of golf in India.
“Really, really looking forward to the finale today. We’ve had a fantastic and exciting week, and of course a really worthy champion, Gaganjeet Bhullar. Great performance by some of our other players as well – Karandeep Kochhar, Manav Shah… “Of course (the amateurs can perform well), if not better. Mundy spoke on how the Hyderabad Golf Club has transformed across the years. “It’s great to have corporate leaders playing alongside the professionals. Specially now with NDTV being a partner of AM Green IGPL, it goes an extra length. We now have the business houses, the media and the golf section together.
Because professional golf funding is required and that is what makes the whole tour work, that’s fantastic for the growth of golf,.
Fantastic to see the kind of scoring that has been put up this week,” Uttam Mendy said. The course is in pristine condition and I think the amateurs would love playing golf, especially in the scenic beauty of this golf course, so I think they’ll forget about the heat,” he said. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to all get together and work on the same mission,” Uttam Mundy said.
