The Maharaja of
Executive Golf reaches Hyderabad
‘Volvo World Golf Challenge India 2012’ to be
played at ‘Boulder Hills Golf and Country Club’
Hyderabad, 28 October, 2012: After
an overwhelming response in New Delhi where there were two sessions of Golf,
morning and afternoon, played to accommodate over 200 participants, the Swedish
luxury carmaker Volvo Auto India’s popular global sports property the ‘Volvo
World Golf Challenge’ (VWGC) reaches Hyderabad.
A nail-biting finish enthralled the
galleries with Mr. Rohan Reddy emerging as the winner in the Handicap
Category 0-12 and Mr. Vijay Raju winning in the Handicap Category 13-24.
Speaking
at the tournament, Tomas Ernberg, Managing Director, Volvo Auto India said, “After seeing the response in the
previous cities, we are really excited to bring the tournament to the City of
Pearls – Hyderabad. The competition was close and it was a pleasure to see the
golfers sweat it out to win the specially-designed work of art trophy, “The Blu
Lotus” created exclusively for the VWGC India by renowned blown glass artist
Atul Bakshi. It captures the Scandinavian flavor that is synonymous with Volvo
Cars global ethos ‘Designed Around You’, which customizes products around an
individual’s preferences.”
However,
what will be more exciting is to see the final 14 golfers from 7 cities to
compete for the exclusive Blu Jacket. The ‘Blu Jacket’ is a hallmark of art
and luxury, craftily interweaving Volvo Cars’ Scandinavian sophistication and
design diva Ritu Beri’s uber-chic craftwork.
It is inspired by Volvo Car’s brand philosophy – Designed Around You. The
fabric is soft like the leather of the Volvo car, comfortable as the seats; it
is chic like the Volvo Car design. It is intrinsically simple without any
unnecessary fussy details. The color Blue is from the Volvo logo and it is also
a cool color - the color of the sky, ocean, twilight. It is the color of high
ideals, the color that aptly reflects the royal style of Volvo", he added.
After
Chandigarh, Coimbatore, New Delhi and now Hyderabad, the VWGC will be
travelling to Pune and Mumbai. The two winners from each city will compete at
the India Finals.
Volvo
Auto India had teamed up with PGTI for the flagship event debut in India
earlier this year.
