Around 100 golfers from Nepal and India are participating in the tournament which will be played under stableford 3/4 handicap format, informed the organisers at a press meet today. “This year we have five golfers from Indian corporate sector and a couple of ambassadors in the field which will make the game more exciting,” said Senior Golf Director at Gokarna Forest Resort Deepak Acharya.

The tournament features five categories — overall, gross, women, senior and junior — and the winners and runners-up along with longest drive, closest-to-the-pin and most birdies will receive prizes.

“Definitely we have attractive prizes and better than last year. We will disclose them at the presentation ceremony as we believe the golfers would be excited as well as surprised to know the prizes on Saturday,” added Acharya.
