Golf : Singh Praises Skytop Project

eev Milka Singh, India’s number one golfer, has become brand ambassador for the Skytop Golf Village project at Mysore in the southern state of Karnataka.

The development, by a property group based in Bangalore, features an 18-hole championship golf course together with comprehensive practice and academy facilities to be laid out by Swan Golf Designs, a team of international golf course architects based in England and working in over 20 countries worldwide.

At the recent launch, Singh said: “It is a fantastic project. The project will set a trend in Mysore with high-class facilities. The golf village is not just a commercial venture but aims to excel in grooming local talents to excel in golf. India can reach the top of the world in sports only through good and extensive coaching for budding talents. I hope that the academy will bear fruit in the days to come as many golfers come out of the golf course and the academy in the development. “

The project, which features a 7,000-yard, par-72 golf course and the accompanying Jeev Milka Singh Academy, also includes a resort hotel and extensive real estate development overlooking the valleyed holes.

The design work, being undertaken by James Edwards and William Swan of Swan Golf Designs, is progressing well and construction is expected to start imminently, meaning it could be open for play by the end of 2010.
