The second  Ang Tshiring Sherpa  Memorial Golf Tournament commenced at Gokarna-based golf resort on Friday. The competition is being organized for the second time in the memory of the late Ang Chhiring Sherpa, a senior Nepali tourism businessman who died in a helicopter crash in Taplejung three years ago. The participation in this year’s competition is more compared to last year.

The participants had been waiting for this competition for many days while practicing for it. On the first day of the competition, 70 players played in various events. On the second day, 88 players will be competing in different events


The game of golf and the late Ang Tshiring Sherpa  were considered synonymous with each other. The late Sherpa, who made significant contributions for the development of tourism in Nepal in a short period of time, also contributed to the development of sports in Nepal. In particular, he had contributed as an official of the swimming association. Similarly, for the past three decades, he had been associated with the game of golf as a golfer. He was an active player of the Royal Nepal Golf Club. He was instrumental in bringing the club to where it is today.

Similarly, his significant contribution for the development of golf in Nepal by establishing a golf course in Gokarna is unprecedented. He was instrumental in producing new players as well as organizing various competitions. Likewise, the players are reminding him of the help he has rendered by providing financial or other assistance to the players. Thus, participation in the competition organized in his memory has been seen with immense enthusiasm.

The organizers aim to make it one of the best golf tournaments in Nepal. Golf players said that the development of tourism in Nepal through golf would be beneficial for the country as shown by the late Sherpa.


Talking to NepalNews, the participants of the golf tournament said that the game of golf has lost its popularity due to the demise of  Ang Tshiring Sherpa . They recalled that even though he was not physically present, his presence was still felt around the golf course.
