Chikkarangappa, Aditi & Vani, Anirban win key awards at India Golf Awards 2016

It was an evening that came alive to the throbbing beats of Indian golf. A glittering collection of golfing royalty came together inside an elegant setting at the Take Solutions INDIA GOLF AWARDS at the JW Marriott Aerocity in Delhi for the third edition of the bespoke event. Amitabh Kant, the IAS officer at the centre of the “Make in India” campaign and CEO of Niti Ayog presided over the evening, while eminent golfer Daniel Chopra made an emotionally charged address about the state of golf in India. S Chikkarangappa was awarded the Best Pro Male award, while Aditi Ashok and Vani Kapoor shared the Best Pro Female award.

Anirban Lahiri was anointed a global golf ambassador given his status as the most recognized Indian golfer of the present era. His success over the last year and his presence on the PGA TOUR have helped place India on the global map of golf. “Lot of people are asking me questions about India and golf in India. For me to be able to represent my country is really special and I hope to be able to carry that flag really high,” Lahiri said on receiving the recognition.
