India’s leading amateur golfers, including Order of Merit leader Anshul Mishra, will compete in the IGU Andhra Pradesh Amateur Championship in Visakhapatnam. With challenging greens, putting is expected to play a decisive role in determining the winner

Hyderabad: The country’s top amateurs, including Order of Merit leader Anshul Mishra, have assembled in Visakhapatnam for the IGU Andhra Pradesh Amateur Golf Championship, which gets underway at the East Point Golf Club on Tuesday.

Although the course is playing long, putting is expected to be the key as the undulating greens are slightly on the slower side. “The player who reads and judges the speed of the greens better will be the last one standing,” was the common refrain among golfers.
