49 Indian delegates to participate in two-day Level 3 Tournament Administrators & Referees Seminar by The R&A that includes interactive sessions on rules of refereeing, course marking, course set-up, local rules, resolution of disputes and role play sessions

The expert panel includes Roger Bathurst – Chairman of The R&A Rules Committee, Jin Woo Kim – The R&A Assistant Director (Rules), Eddy Putra – former R&A Rules Committee advisory member, Henry Arabelo – Tournament Director of the Asia Pacific Golf Confederation and R Shyam Sunder – IGU Rules Director.

Speaking about hosting the inaugural Level 3 TARS in India, Brijinder Singh, President of the Indian Golf Union said: “Being the National Sports Federation recognized by the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports (MYAS) and International Golf Federation (IGF), the Indian Golf Union is fully committed to promoting the sport of golf to various nooks and corners of the sub-continent. One of the most important roles of the IGU is upskilling and certification of coaches and referees. Currently, we have 28 Level 3 certified active Indian referees and we are confident that the 49 Indians taking the TARS exam this time will qualify for the same, which will be almost 200% rise in the number of rule officials.”
The Level 3 seminar serves as a crucial component of The R&A’s Rules Education Programme aimed at equipping candidates with the necessary skills and standards to function as tournament officials or referees
