Ravibir to head Chandigarh Golf Club

Ravibir Singh Grewal will be the new president of the Chandigarh Golf Club (CGC). Grewal turned out to be the sole contender for the top post on the last day of the filing of nominations.

As many as 14 candidates filed their papers for the new 11-member executive committee. Since the withdrawal of nominations is open till January 11, it’s uncertain whether the elections for the new committee will be held or not. Sources claimed the elections were unlikely as the contenders had been approached to withdraw nominations under mutual consent.

Recently, the CGC had announced that the elections would be held on January 25. The filing of nominations concluded today. The scrutiny is scheduled to be held on January 10 (5 pm), followed by withdrawal by January 11 (5 pm).

A news report was published in these same columns on December 29, indicating that the club president might be picked unanimously.
