We got a trainer. We got clubs / golf balls. We got the holes installed and numbered. We got the flags. And we planned for other features too.
We will get a video on a TV screen in the demonstration centre. A trainer will be available. Anyone can try one round at an introductory offer of Rs 50. Golf ball and club will be given free initially. Time: 12 noon- 4 pm on all days except Monday when Eco Park is closed. More features will be added gradually. For any qureies regarding participation, please contact Mr Partha Ghosh, Curator Eco Park at 98361-09962

Others present today were Neil Law (Golpher) and his little daughter, Khokan (Golfer, trainer), Partha Sarathi Ghosh (Curator), Suman Neogy (GM Hidco) and Biswajit Paul (Correspondent)
