President of T Golf Foundation Dr NRN Reddy, said, “The enjoyment golf has given me cannot be measured in words and I’d always think of the people behind the scenes and the work they put in to ensure one leaves the golf course with a smile. With the support of a few friends and well-wishers, we have been able to launch the T Golf Foundation to help the men and women behind the scenes. In our first year, we have managed to help local contractors in times of the pandemic and we want to contribute to club employees across the country at all NAGL host clubs.” Mr Brandon de Souza, Tournament Director and Managing Director, Tiger Sports Marketing remarked, “Franchise golf has taken off across the country in a huge way. The NAGL is a celebration of the golf clubs in India who have seen the positive impact a member’s league makes on its database. We have attempted to create a battle for the National Championship where all champion teams congregate once a year in a competitive environment complemented with networking events. With morem leagues coming up this year, NAGL will be the most sought after event for amateur club golfers.”
