Rajasthan's First Pitch and Putt: A New Era in Indian Golf

History was created at Jaipur's Rambagh Golf Club as it hosted the first-ever Pitch and Putt tournament in Rajasthan. The Par 3 Masters witnessed participation from 156 enthusiastic golfers, marking a significant moment in Indian golf. The event's unique format restricts players to three clubs, enhancing its appeal.

A total of 84 golfers teed off in the morning, followed by 72 in the evening, enjoying perfect conditions following a light rain. This new format is drawing attention for its fast-paced and accessible structure, prompting organizers to consider launching a dedicated Pitch and Putt league in Rajasthan.

The tournament concluded with Pushpendra Singh Rathore winning the Men's category and Nitika Jadeja topping the Female category, amidst various contests and a spectacular Sufi qawwali performance. This successful event is a step towards promoting shorter golf formats in India, boosting the synergy between sports and tourism.
