Preparations at the DGC were in overdrive as workers scurried around to get everything in place. New pagoda-styled structures has been erected next to the Annexe building to house all the guests for lunch.
A huge billboard of Woods along side Hero MotoCorp will welcome the golfer as he enters the course. New stands for members to watch the proceedings have also been put in prominent places like the first hole.
Small hoardings of Hero welcoming Woods have been dispersed all around the course to add to the effect.
The DGC Food and Beverage department will provide lunch for all the members but Woods will be eating delicacies provided by ITC Maurya.
Karun Malik, an avid golfer and a DGC member, was left a little aggrieved when he couldn't use the chipping range due to the work being done. Though initially irritated, he too was waiting anxiously to meet Woods.
“I went to the chipping range to hit a few shots, however, they were doing some work for Woods' visit. I was a little irritated by the inconvenience but it's fine. One does not see a player like Tiger Woods coming here everyday so I can excuse the club this time,” he told IANS.
