The Golf Foundation (TGF)
Set up in the year 2000, TGF supports talented young golfers from underprivileged backgrounds. A Registered Charitable Society, TGF strongly believes that India can produce National and International golf champions through supporting golf talent from weaker sections of society. A belief that has been proven to be right time and again.
The Genesis
The Golf Foundation was born out of an idea. In the early nineties, a young boy Ashok Kumar was caddying for Amit Luthra. Amit saw that he had immense golf talent but no means to take his game forward. Amit – himself a multiple-times National Golf Champion, Asian Games Gold Medallist and Arjuna Awardee – decided to help him with money, equipment, playing rights and most important, encouragement. The rest is history – Ashok turned pro and went on to become one of India’s most successful professional golfers. He recorded 18 professional wins, including being the PGAI & PGTI (Professional Golf Tour of India) Order of Merit winner in 2003/4 and 2006/7.
The Mission
