The 13th DGC Junior/Sub-Junior Golf Tournament 2023, presented by USHA, begins on Wednesday at the Delhi Golf Club. Over 100 golfers, aged between 8 and 21, will participate in this three-day (July 19-21), 18-holes per day tournament that will be played on both the Lodhi and Peacock Courses.

USHA’s longstanding association of over three decades with the Delhi Golf Club underpins its commitment to the growth and development of the sport in India. The tee-off will be done by DGC club champion Pratap Atwal, who is also the Walter Locke Matchplay champion.

The tournament, a test of skill, focus, and determination, will see some of the most promising younger generation of golfers in action, including Sharanya Agarwal from New Jersey, USA (handicap-1), Kashika Mishra (handicap-2), Chaitanya Pandey (the youngest Indian winner of European US Kids 2019) and Sandeep Kadian (Winner DGC Juniors/Sub-Juniors Golf Tournament 2022), amongst others.

To encourage inclusivity, the Delhi Golf Club has waived the entry fees for 30 underprivileged juniors – 15 caddies from DGC, 7 from village Jindali (supported by the Golf Foundation), 8 from Ultimate Foundation (Golden Greens), and one from Golmuri Golf Club.
