She also acknowledged the support of the Czech Embassy in New Delhi, the Honorary Consulate in Chandigarh and Chandigarh Golf Club President Major R.S. (Lally) Virk in promoting Indo-Czech partnerships.
The three-day championship will feature amateur women golfers from across India, with special categories for senior players and emerging young talent.
