Long Drivers of India
Long Drivers of India CEO Sohan Singh Negi explains “Long drive is a great concept for a country like India wherein golf is increasingly becoming a popular sport to watch but the expansion at grass roots is facing bottleneck owing to very limited number of courses and high barriers to entry for an aspiring golfer. The ‘Long Drive’ concept fits perfectly in bridging the gap hence has the potential to be a successful model in the emerging economies. The possibilities are immense besides organizing events and championships.” Long drive fanatics look forward to seeing representatives from India at the 2008 RE/MAX.
