New Delhi, May 01: India would send a nine-member
team for the 25th Asia-Pacific junior golf championship to be
played at Damai Indah golf and Country Club, Indonesia, from
May 04 to 07.
The team, comprising five boys and four girls, would
leave for Indonesia tomorrow and would be accompanied by
Nonita Lal Qureshi, Indian golf union secretary general Satish
Aparajit told reporters today.
Aparajit said the juniors were not getting desired
international exposure since over a year and half as most of
the competitions were cancelled due to SARS and bird flu
virus. "
Hence the IGU decided to send an additional player in
both boys and girls event," he said adding that the final team
for the competition would be selected after trials there.
The championship will be played in two age group
categories - A and B - and a two-member team would be
fielded in each event.
Pointing out that this was the "best ever" team India would be fielding in the competition, Aparajit said "We have high hopes from current India number one Ajeetesh Sandhu." Bureau Report
