holycowgolf: Touchdown!!

Okay kids, it has finally happened. The unthinkable has occurred. I have managed to bring together The NGA, HYGA, Gokarna Forest Resort, and The Faldo Series. Nepal will be hosting a Faldo Series International Event in October of 2012! This is a huge moment for Nepal as far as golf is concerned. There are many people who made this happen, although I'd like to take some time out to pat myself on the back....... Alright, enough of that. My only regret is that I won't be able to meet Nick Faldo himself on March 16th, as I will be back in the states. A member of the NGA will announce the event with Sir Nick at the series championship at Mission Hills in China in front of international press. I guess the fact that it's getting done should be reward enough for me, I mean I was here for Nepal Golf and not just myself, right? Right.

The kids from the Saturday clinics who will now have a chance to play in a monthly tournament

Moving on.....We will also be able to use the facilities at the driving range in Pokhara, The Fulbari Course, and the Himalayan Course in order to conduct tournaments, clinics, and intensive junior camps. This is all excellent news for the future of golf in Nepal. I'm glad I could have a major part in changing the course of how things are done here, and I'm glad that the kids will have a chance to pursue golf in a more aggressive manner. This is also great news for the existing golf pros in Nepal. They will have a chance to participate in building the future of golf, will learn how international tournaments are run, and will gain knowledge as well as having more opportunities opened to them, should they choose to pursue a career that doesn't involve simply playing golf for a living.
