Our latest newsletter where @TheJoyofGolf looks at the sad demise of match play and World Golf Championships…

[Joy Chakravarty @TheJoyofGolf]

Somewhere under the Pennybacker Bridge in Austin is a fresh grave with the following epitaph:

‘Here lies the oldest format of the sport – beloved of the masses, but betrayed by some of its biggest stars and Tours’

Our Fairways & Greens newsletter this week could not have focused on anyone else but @aditigolf! What a performance!!

[Joy Chakravarty @TheJoyofGolf]

In my @HTGolfNews newsletter with @htTweets today, the focus obviously is @aditigolf and her amazing performance at the Magical Kenya Open where she roamed like a giraffe in a herd of zebras.

There could not have been a better trophy than what she got!

How many of you would agree with @TheJoyofGolf when he compares the mood during New Year being the same as the hopes and anticipation before a round of golf?

In my latest @HTGolfNews newsletter, I look at six things that affect Indian golf in 2023. Apart from the changes in the @pgtofindia and @IndianGolfUnion, it also includes @OWGRltd, @asiantourgolf, @LIVGolfInv and @TigerWoods...

@TheJoyofGolf @IndianGolfUnion @htTweets Fully endorse the need to present the IGU Amateur Championship better. In fact, the entire junior and amateur tour can be rebranded and presented far far better. We need a professional and passionate team to do that. It never seems to be happening.

[FairwaysAndGreens @HTGolfNews]

Our man @TheJoyofGolf on the tasks ahead of the newly formed @IndianGolfUnion council…

[Joy Chakravarty @TheJoyofGolf]

There is a change of guards at the @IndianGolfUnion with a new President, V-P and council. Some are celebrating that the Army has been ousted from power.

But as I argue in my @htTweets newsletter today, more than a new King, we need a new vision...

[Joy Chakravarty @TheJoyofGolf]

1859 - @TheOpen
1885 - The Amateur
1892 - All-India Amateur
1895 - @usopengolf /US Amateurs

India's national c'ship is the third-oldest in golf. And yet, it is treated with utter disdain by @IndianGolfUnion.

Our newsletter this week…

[Joy Chakravarty @TheJoyofGolf]

It was a massive week for Indian golf.

Here’s my take on the pros and pitfalls of @pgtofindia joining the @DPWorldTour and @PGATOUR alliance and what they MUST do next to make this count.

In today @HTGolfNews newsletter with @htTweets…

‘The @OWGRltd needs to understand that in order to feed the big fish, it has sucked out the oxygen from every other tank and left the smaller fish asphyxiated.’

@TheJoyofGolf on the pain being felt by players like @JonRahmpga & India’s @SandhuYuvraj_1…

https://t.co/vtNbnlYBXx

[Joy Chakravarty @TheJoyofGolf]

In today @HTGolfNews newsletter, we will focus on the @OWGRltd and why there is so much hullabaloo over it.

We will discuss this through examples of @JonRahmpga and India’s @SandhuYuvraj_1.

You can head over to the @htTweets website and subscribe.

[Joy Chakravarty @TheJoyofGolf]

@indiaimages @lolbrotheridge @IndianGolfUnion @HTGolfNews That’s a bit of an extreme plan! PGTI has it hands full trying to do their own things. I believe things can change, and all the IGU needs is a bit of professionalism - I mean paid employees who can be held responsible.

[FairwaysAndGreens @HTGolfNews]

It’s not the voice of a whole organization, but there are some in the @IndianGolfUnion who trivialized the importance of things like uniform, daily allowances and qualified managers.

@TheJoyofGolf counters the argument in this week’s newsletter…

@TheJoyofGolf @AAC_Golf @IndianGolfUnion @HTSportsNews The amateur tour is where the deathbed of Indian golf lies. See how few are coming out and becoming successful at Pgti. Maybe only 3-4 every couple of yrs. Most of the support is only at the junior circuits

[Brig Balwinder Singh Sandhu 🇮🇳 @Balwinder_777]

@TheJoyofGolf @AAC_Golf @IndianGolfUnion @HTSportsNews India has a pool of talented & passionate youngsters. Timely investment in them will definitely make them Neeraj Chopra's of Indian golf. Let us keep pushing & raising the bar

[Karen Harding @karenharding123]

@TheJoyofGolf @AAC_Golf @IndianGolfUnion @HTSportsNews Straight and knowledgeable talking, Joy, and I hope it gets some response and action.

[FairwaysAndGreens @HTGolfNews]

Our @TheJoyofGolf was there in Amata Spring as he watched the region’s best rise and excel in @AAC_Golf, and why Indian team needs serious help and a proactive attitude from @IndianGolfUnion.

[Joy Chakravarty @TheJoyofGolf]

It wasn’t a good week at the @AAC_Golf for the Indian boys. But, we do look like poor cousins of the region given how much other countries are doing for their players, and how little @IndianGolfUnion does.
