Karnataka Golf Association

A Special cover was released on 2nd September 2022 at Bengaluru on the occasion of the Golden jubilee Celebration of Karnataka Golf Association.

It was in 1973, that a group of avid golfers from Karnataka, embarked on a mission of identifying Bangalore as the golfing capital of South India. Karnataka Golf Association was Registered on 03 September 1973. The search for a suitable site for an international standard golf course started in earnest and in May 1980, the then Chief Minister of Karnataka, Shri R. Gundu Rao personally took the initiative to hand over 125 acres of land in Challaghatta to the Karnataka Golf Association.
