The tournament committee was set up to take the tournament idea forward. The best event manager for golf Sports
Marketing was contacted and discussions started around mid Feb 08 to get the idea off the ground. The first estimates
for the tournament which was designed for half a day to be held in BCR for around 90 participants was Rs. 15 lacs. This
was well beyond our expectation and we set about collecting the funds. After a positive okay from Ravinder N Khanna and
Vin Gupta who was contacted by Vinod Sobti we gave the go ahead but pruned the budget to Rs. 8 lacs. Collection of
sponsorships began in earnest and thanks to the efforts of our Executive Committee member Sunil K Jain 1986 EEand
Tiger Sports we were able to tie up further sponsorships to complete the fund raising. |
