USHA NORTHERN INDIA LADIES & JUNIOR GIRLS GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP 2013

USHA NORTHERN INDIA LADIES & JUNIOR GIRLS GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 to get Underway at the CLASSIC GOLF COURSE in GURGAON

Country’s top two Amateur Lady Golfers Gurbani Singh and Aditi Ashok set to Resume Rivalry

Gurgaon, October 8: Usha Northern India Ladies & Junior Girls Golf Championship, an Indian Golf Union (IGU) categorized event, is set to get underway at the Classic Golf Course in Gurgaon, Haryana. This is one of the four zonal events that Usha sponsors. The other three zonal events are: Usha Southern India Ladies Open, Usha Western India Ladies Open and Usha Eastern India Ladies Open. Usha International (UIL) is strongly committed to the development of sports in the country and has been a major supporter of Golf for the last 25 years. The event which has seen a record 61 entries this year will be played over three days and 54 holes in the stroke-play format.

Gurbani Singh of the Delhi Golf Club, the current Order of Merit leader of the IGU Ladies Amateur Golf Tour, who is in splendid form this season and is coming off a facile victory in Chandigarh last week, will again start as favourite. She will however be wary of her fiercest rival on tour in recent years, Bangalore based Aditi Ashok, who missed the Chandigarh event but has been drawn to tee off at Gurgaon. Both have held the distinction of being the youngest winners of the IGU Ladies Tour and last year, Gurbani piped Aditi to the post to win the tour. They are again among the top two this year and are clearly looking to pull away decisively from the chasing pack. The tournament will see the winner emerge of Friday, October 11.

Other participants to look out for in the tournament will be the likes of GAURI MONGA, MILLIE SAROHA, RIDDHIMA DILAWARI and SEHER ATWAL, regular top 10 finishers and who will be eager to make their move up MERIT list.

The Ladies will also look to log some valuable points to make it to the Indian National Squad. With Golf being included in the 2016 Summer Olympics, this will be important to give them the much needed international exposure, if they ultimately make it to the Indian team for the Olympics.

Usha’s unwavering support to Golf has encouraged many promising young talents across to the nation pursue the sport in a professional manner. USHA covers the entire spectrum of the game in the country – from juniors, to ladies, to professional golf. USHA also sponsors golf training programmes and has been associated with the Junior Training Programme at the prestigious Delhi 

Golf Club since 2006. USHA sponsored the 33rd Queen Sirikit Cup Championship in New Delhi in 2011. It is the most important women’s amateur golf event in the Asia Pacific region.
