The Ang Tshiring Sherpa Memorial Golf Tournament teed-off on Friday, March 5, 2021. The two-day event will be held at the Gokarna Forest Resort.
The rituals for the tournament started off with stewardesses from Yeti Airlines welcoming the guests.
Deepak Acharya, Senior Golf Director at Gokarna Forest Resort, said, “We started the registration process at 7 in the morning and we have 76 participants registered for the tournament.”
The inaugural event of the tournament started with Chanda Sherpa, Managing Director of Yeti Group, lighting a lamp and adorning the image of late Ang Tshiring with a ‘khada’ at 7:45 am. It was then followed by a minute of silence in honour of late Ang Tshiring, the golfer with a big heart.
"The tournament officially started with Chanda Sherpa hitting the first tee," Acharya informed.
The golf tournament holds a big importance for the Yeti Airlines family, as they not only respect Ang Tshiring for his work but also his love for the sports.
“Ang Tshiring was an avid golfer and any person who knows him will vouch for the fact on how much he loved the sport and helped people along,” shared Acharya.
Meanwhile, Anoj Rimal, CEO of Yeti Airlines, mentioned that the golf tournament holds a big importance for the ‘Yeti’ family. “As golf was an important part of life for Ang Tshiring this tournament is a way for us to remember him and honour his life though he is not with us anymore. This is a way for us to remember him!" he added.
