With its immaculate fairways and pristine greens, the Lodhi Course of the Delhi Golf Club (DGC) is a pretty sight no doubt, but is a daunting challenge as well.
Why this iconic course is often termed a golfer’s stern test and is prone to giving sleepless nights was on show on Day 1 of the NCR Cup, 6th Junior Golf Tournament, organised by the Delhi Golf Society.
