His company will bring to India the special equipment and training aids for golfers who wish to enhance their golfing skills as well as long-drive skills here in Chandigarh.

of the club.” Maxx Power public relations director Ajay Gujral said: “There will be prizes for people taking part in the pre-qualifiers as well. Professional golfers
