Turkish Airlines brought its international even—Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup—to Gokarna Forest Resort Kathmandu this week.  The global event by Turkish Airline has more than 8,000 invited guests competing in more than 100 tournaments around the world.

 

“Turkish Airlines is firmly committed to the aspirational vision of sporting competition and trusts in its ability to unite people from different nations,” a press statement released by Turkish Airlines read, “That support extends from football, basketball, rugby and golf at all levels and the amateur series is a fine example of this from the carrier, which offers a multiple award-winning Business Class service and allows guests to take clubs for free.”

 

The Kathmandu event held on March 12 was supported by the local business community and leading businessmen were among the competitors at Gokarna Forest Resort. Among the competitors was Pratima Sherpa who recently put golf in Nepal on the map after Tiger Woods invited her to Florida for a private lesson in her quest to become Nepal’s first female professional golfer before traveling back to Kathmandu to compete in the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup.

 

 Madhav Acharya will represent Kathmandu in the international tournament after winning the competition with 43 points, while Madhav Simkhada was runner-up, Kishan Agrawal was third.

 

 “We would like to thank all of our guests who made the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup here in Kathmandu a huge success,” Abdullah Tuncer Kececı, General Manager for Turkish Airlines Kathmandu, said at the event.
