Asian Games

Although the game of golf was reintroduced into the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro after a long break of 112 years, the popular sport has been a constant fixture in ‘Asia’s Olympics’, known as the Asian Games, for a long time.

The game was first introduced in the 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi, and it has been featured in all eight editions since. South Korea is the most successful nation in this discipline, followed by Chinese Taipei, Japan, India, Philippines and others.

All six of them are currently undergoing hard training at the Kurmitola Golf Club under the auspices of Bangladesh Golf Federation. They have come from different clubs of the country, but they are united in one mission, which is to bring laurels for the nation.
