Future World, Team Babloo and GD ACES Chandigarh have qualified for the final of the second edition of the Kashmir Golf League, which will be played at the Royal Springs Golf Course here on Monday.

Tournament organiser Danish Aman said nine teams, each comprising six players, participated in the league that has witnessed competitive action over the past several days.

According to Aman, GD ACES remained one of the standout performers throughout the tournament and secured a place in the title clash with consistent performances. Future World, meanwhile, staged a strong comeback in the closing stages of the league to seal the second berth in the final.

“One team was clearly ahead, while Future World pulled back strongly and made it to the final today after a tough fight,” Aman said.

Notably, the Future World, team Babloo is owned and captained by Sheikh Yaseen (Babloo) from Srinagar. Babloo has been a strong sports promoter and golfer in the region over a decade and has also participated in the inaugural edition of the Kashmir Golf League.

Speaking to the Greater Kashmir, Yaseen said that he is quite happy to see his team qualifying for the finals and that they are optimistic about clinching the title.

“I am happy with my team’s performance. We will give our best to secure the title. I would also urge the youth to focus on education, and beyond that they should also focus on sports to stay away from drugs”, Yaseen said.

GD ACES, representing Chandigarh, will take on Future World, representing Kashmir, in the summit clash.

The final is expected to bring down the curtain on a successful second edition of the league, which featured nine teams and attracted golfers from both Jammu and Kashmir and outside.

A prize distribution ceremony will be held after the conclusion of the final to honour the winners and outstanding performers of the tournament.
