Press Release Summary: A well conducted Golf event at a prestigious golf club has
always made history for instance The U.S Masters. The aim of Delhi Golf Society
which has 150 members from Delhi\'s Golfing fraternity is to make the NCR Cup the
best annual event at the prestigious Delhi Golf Club.

Press Release Body: The 2nd NCR Cup, oorganised by Delhi Golf Society, a fraternity
of golf lovers in the capital, lived up to its reputation of being a national
amateur championship that could vie with top ranking international amateur
championships.

Sixteen year old Rashid Khan from the Delhi Golf Club (DGC) emerged on tops and
secured an entry in to the European Amateur Championship next year. Rashid has been
in top form lately. His 7 under total was good enough for a five shot victory over
another Delhi Golf Club lad, 20 year old Aditya Singh.

The leading scorers were 281- Rashid Khan, 286 - Aditya Singh, 288 - Kapil Kumar,
292 - Rudresh Sharma, 293 - Moin Malak, 296 - Chikkarangappa, 302 - Navtez Singh

The 2nd annual NCR Cup teed off at the Delhi Golf Club from Oct 23rd to Oct 26th,
2007. The tournament was open to amateur golfers from anywhere in India with
handicap of 6 and below and featured 72 players.

"A well conducted Golf event at a prestigious golf club has always made history for
instance The U.S Masters. The aim of Delhi Golf Society which has 150 members from
Delhi\'s Golfing fraternity is to make the NCR Cup the best annual event at the
prestigious Delhi Golf Club. I firmly believe that no contribution by any golfing
body is greater than to have a well conducted event which attracts the top talent of
the country. Thanks to Mr Kamal M Morarka of Gannon Dunkerley who has supported the
event with generous contributions", said Mr. Prakash Bhandari, President, Delhi
Golf Society.

The just-concluded tournament offered facilities to the players comparable to the
best competitive amateur tournament in the continent. The players were provided with
caddy fees, top quality golf balls and accessories, food coupons daily and
invitation to an awards dinner.

Most importantly, the top two players get an automatic entry into the European
Amateur Championship where they will get to compete with the best amateur players in
Europe next summer, a rare privilege, offered only by this tournament in India. The
Delhi Golf Society will be flying the winners to Europe and they will be provided
with local hospitality there.

"The Delhi Golf Club, in premium condition immediately after the staging of the
Indian Open Championship is in top class championship condition and the players were
able to compete in real world class international championship conditions", said Mr
Ranji Chaudhri, Captain Delhi Golf Club.

NCR Cup is the only national level amateur tournament currently conducted annually
at the DGC.

An attraction this year was 14 year old Chikarangappa ( Chikka as he is known) who
is the youngest ever player to represent the men's team.

The DGC's par 72 course provided a solid test of golf for the competitors. Speaking
on the occasion, former national men's amateur champion and Asian Games Gold
Medalist, the event director, Rishi Narain said, " Until a few years ago Delhi
players dominated Indian golf at every level, the sub junior, junior, open and pro
categories. Today this is not the case. The Delhi Golf Society intends to make a
contribution towards Delhi players regaining premium place in the national rankings
by creating competitive opportunities and training programs".

Wisden cricketer Kapil Dev participated in the event to motivate the young champions.

Gala Dinner prize-giving on October 26 evening at DGC lawns consisted of select
participants, DGC Committee members, top corporates including Pawan Munjal of Hero
Honda, celebrities such as Mandira Bedi, star golfers including Shiv Kapur and
Gaurav Ghai. The chief guest was the Lt. Governor of Delhi Mr Tejendra Khanna. The
awards night was hosted by Cidade de Goa and the award winning chefs were specially
flown from Cidade de Goa for Goan food.

In its inaugural year the winner was Raj Randhawa with a total of 290, 2 over par
for the 4 rounds, two ahead of runner up Karan Vasudeva and another stroke behind at
293 was Rashid Khan in 3rd place. Raj Randhawa has since then joined the pro ranks.
