AFTER ALMOST A year, BT Golf returned to the City of Pearls for the Hyderabad leg of the 202324 season. The exclusive and invite-only event saw close to a hundred golfers hitting the links on a balmy Saturday (November 18, 2023) morning at the Boulder Hills Golf and Country Club. Nestled amidst the offices of global IT giants like Infosys and Microsoft, the 18-hole championship course is considered one of the toughest in the country. Strategically located natural boulders and the presence of water bodies throughout the course provided ample challenges for the corporate warriors, even though many were familiar with the course.
Over the next few hours, the who's who of Hyderabad's corporate world took on each other at the greens, showcasing their prowess with a putter and a club in a competitive display of camaraderie that had everyone in attendance wishing for an encore.
Finally, psychiatrist Swetha Gullapalli (32 points) emerged as the winner of the Hyderabad leg of Royal Ranthambore BT Golf 2023-24 in the ladies' category, while Vasu Merugu, VP-Product & Analytics at Head Digital Works, won the award in the 0-14 men's handicap category and Vidyasagar (33 points) won in the 15-24 men's handicap category.
