The Caddies Welfare Trust, CWT’s 4th edition of the caddies inter-club invitational was held on Monday 13th August 2018  and attracted over 80 entries from 20 golf clubs.

 

For the second year in a row, Delhi Golf Club generously extended the use of the golf course and the members are kind enough to donate Rs 500/- each year in support of CWT’s endeavours. Thanks to this, the spirit of CWT’s effort has spread to other clubs and is truly becoming Pan India as was originally conceived. Trustee Maj. RS Bedi explained what the Trust does to the participating caddies, encouraging them to return to their own clubs and share the details with management and inform them of CWT’s offer of assistance first hand. As is done for over 300 DGC caddies, things like Medical Insurance, Eye & Dental care, clothing distribution, education and retirement benefits for caddies kids and caddies respectively and, job placements for older kids of caddies were discussed.

 

Additionally, the Delhi Golf Club also donates a day for a hugely popular Members Club Tournament, organised by the CWT, as a thanks giving to members and other sponsors for their donations.  CWT gratefully acknowledges DGC’s generous support over the years.
