Poona Club Golf Course clinched the 30th annual edition of the Grover Inter Club title with a commanding performance in this year’s highly anticipated contest played among the three Mumbai clubs and Poona GC.
Played over February 14 and 15 at PCGC, the annual event brought together four of Western Maharashtra’s leading clubs — Poona Club Golf Course, Willingdon Sports Club, Bombay Presidency Golf Club and United Services Club.
Poona Club finished on 35.5 points to secure the title, well clear of Willingdon Sports Club on 25.5 points. United Services Club took third at 24.5 points, while Bombay Presidency Golf Club ended fourth with 19 points. It marks Poona Club’s second triumph in recent years, having also lifted the trophy in 2022. No doubt the home course advantage helped the Pune club to the title. The venue revolves each year among the four clubs.
