Thanks to skillz, I think we've found a formidable site for this years Daler Mehndi Invitational. It appears that the Kabul Golf Club in Kabul, Afghanistan has gracefully allowed us to use its breathtaking facilities in late August of 2004.
Luckily, our deep ties with the Gidwani family allowed us access to such a prestigious course and resort.
If anyone is interested in playing, sponsoring, or caddying in the tournament, please let us know via e-mail. We will post the rates as soon as we get them here on the web, and also via e-mail. If anyone can donate spare HazMat suits or gas masks it would be greatly appreciated as it appears the course can sometimes get caught in the line of fire.
This years tournament will benefit the Anti-Human-Trafficking Association (AHTA) which was started by Mr. Mehndi months ago in an effort to combat the growing problem of overseas human trafficking.
After speaking with Mohammad Afzal Abdul, the 46-year-old club professional, he assured us that the weekend would go off without a hitch, and that adequate lodging is available at the resort. He would like to remind players that they will be allowed to tee-up from anywhere on the course, and should their ball go beyond the orange “old-mine-field“ stakes, not to go looking for it. “It's a free drop in the drop area and you don't have to take a penalty stroke. We lost a couple members last year in the field, so we had the orange stakes installed. Our main goal is keeping the members happy and safe. We respect the members, and they in turn respect the Club.“
The fairways will be cut tight, and the greens will be rolling fast, so bring your best game and a full wallet. Let's help support Mr. Mehndi, and the Kabul Golf Club.
