In India you can play golf almost
anywhere, for this outdoors sport is widely played by a cross-section
of people to the country's often-dramatic background. In the
hills and high Himalayan fastness, in metropolitan cities
and in small towns, by lakes and forests, or surrounded by
tea estates, out in the desert and in old British cantonments...
the flavor of India is visible everywhere that golf in the
country is played.
India was the first country outside of Great Britain to take
up the game of golf. The Royal Calcutta Golf Club, established
in 1829, is the oldest golf club in India, and the first outside
Great Britain. With the growing influence of the British in
the Indian empire, the eighteenth Century saw a mushrooming
of new golf clubs in India. Wherever land was available and
grass grew, golf found a new HOME.
