Golf was first played in Nepal during the Rana regime and back then it was known as the ‘sport of royals’.

However, of late, the sport is gaining popularity as people are taking it as a way of life and just as a sport of leisure. The number of professional and amateur golfers has been rising steadily in the country over the years and one man who could be credited for this growth is none other than late Ang Tshiring Sherpa.

The late Managing Director of Yeti Group of Companies and a tourism entrepreneur, Sherpa himself was a very keen golfer.  

And he had a big impact on the golfing scenario in Nepal!
