IJGT Asian Circuit makes showing in New Delhi
As the midway event in the fall Hank Haney IJGT Asian Circuit, the October 20-21st tournament in New Delhi, India had an impressive showing of junior golfers. The 2-day, 36-hole tournament at Jaypee Greens Golf Resort (shown below) served as the 2nd Annual Indian Qualifier for the 2011 Hank Haney International Junior Golf Tour Asian Tournament of Champions.
The top 3 finishers in each of the two oldest boys and girls divisions earned eligibility for the Asian Tournament of Champions to be held in December. The champions will additionally be invited to participate in the 2012 International Junior Golf Tour Bridgestone Tournament of Champions 
at the Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, Florida. With the opportunity to compete against the top junior golfers from around the world, this 2011-2012 season finale event is sure to impress.
In attendance at the Indian Qualifier was Hank Haney International Junior Golf Academy’s Director of International Business Development, Patrick O’Toole. O’Toole was extremely impressed by the competition he observed last weekend stating, “I was fortunate to witness some amazing displays of golf. The passion and dedication the Indian junior golfers showed was truly inspiring. The game of golf is certainly growing in India and the future is very bright. IJGT, in partnership with Albatross Junior Tour, is committed to growing the game and providing Indian golfers with the opportunity to play and compete not only on a national stage but an international one as well.”
Hank Haney IJGA and the IJGT are proud to include the Asian Circuit in the realm of competition and look forward to continued growth in the future. Next stop on the Hank Haney IJGT Asian Circuit will be in Seoul, Korea at the Oak Valley Country Club on November 7-9.
