IGU's honorary treasurer and chairman of technical rules and amateur status committee, Ishwar Achanta stressed on the revival of properties like the Indian Masters and Indian Classic.

In a bid to make golf more accessible to the general public, GIA president Deepali Shah Gandhi seconded the initiatives taken by the IGU.
