Mr. Kapil Dev the legendry cricketer inaugurated The Imperial Golf Academy on 23rd October 2010 at Ludhiana. The Academy has all modern teaching aids and has been designed by Nicklaus Design, who is also designing the 18 hole par 71
championship golf course in the vicinity of the academy.
The first batch of the academy was children between the ages of 8 and 16,
who were initiated to the great game of golf in an exciting event, entitled
“Initiation of Future Champions”. The group of 40 children
was fascinated by the display of great shots by the
legend himself, as also a keen tussle
between him and 14 years old
Viren Thapper, winner of the inaugural
Imperial Cup held at Phillaur Golf Course
in 2010. The trainees later signed a pledge
“YES WE CAN. YES WE WILL, GOLF GOLD IN
OLYMPICS 2016”.
Kapil Dev in his short speech exhorted the young
would be champion to play the game in the true sense,
imbibe the sterling values that golf so aptly teaches and
above all strive for excellence in whatever they do. The launch
evening at Imperial Academy came to a dazzling end as Kapil Dev
switched on the strategically placed lights making the 10 acres world
class Imperial Golf Academy as the only flood lit golf academy in this
part of Punjab with two playing holes.

To provide golfers with the highest level of instruction,
covering every aspect of the game to help them
achieve their golfing goals.
