Dear All,

1. Due to the ongoing threat posed by the spread of the Coronovirus (COVID-19), we regret to inform that all IGU Tournaments and Events ( NGAI Refresher Courses, Rules schools etc) including the Zonal and Feeder Tour events, which were scheduled to be held in March and April, 2020 have been postponed with immediate effect.

2. The decision has been made after considering the latest public health and travel advisories announced by the Indian Government, as these new measures significantly impact and prevent the conduct of our forthcoming events. The Government of India has also decided to invoke provisions of Section 2 of the Epidemic Disease Act - 1897. Under this act, any person disobeying the act shall be deemed to have committed a punishable offence under section 188 of the Indian Penal Code.

3. We will continue to monitor the situation in respect of health and travel advisories issued in this respect and probably reschedule the events later this year, which will be intimated to all in due course of time.

4. We convey our best wishes to all our stakeholders to stay healthy and safe during this very difficult time, that our Nation and the World is facing.

Regards,

Dear Mr Harinder Bedi,

We have read with interest your post on FB regarding the state of the IGU. Unfortunately, your post is bereft of facts and seem to be lacking of ground realities.

The Indian Golf Union is a National Sports Federation of Golf since 1955 and has been promoting and developing golf in India for past 60 years.

Almost all the high ranked professionals of our country who have been playing in the PGA, European Tour and Asian Tour are the product of IGU. Your son Aadil Bedi, a fine golfer also have gone through IGU and represented India in Asian Games based on his performance in IGU Tournaments.

IGU is fully compliant with National Sports Development Code (NSDC - 11) and the newly complied constitution has been well received and accepted by the Registrar of Societies..AGM will surely be held after the judgement of Hon'ble Calcutta High Court is pronounced, which is reserved and awaited.

Our amateur golfers are in no way suffering and we are holding all our national tournaments and coaching camps and MYA&S continues to support us in International events. IGU is committed for its role as the National Sports Federation and promotion and development of Golf in the Country.

You, yourself are a golfer and supporter of the game. Your son is a promising golfer and has embraced golf because of continuous and valuable support and exposure he received from the IGU. It is advised that you should not get involved and be affected with rumours which is being spread by people with vested interests, who are unlikely to be part of the new council, as they do not qualify as per the new constitution which is NSDC compliant. You are cautioned to check the facts before putting allegations on a National body, which would certainly affect the morale and performance of our young golfers and harm the golfing fraternity as a whole.
