Legacy of Lt. Gen. Himmeth Singh

Gen. Himmeth Singh was among the key individuals who took responsibility for managing and advancing the club. Along with other members, he worked with great dedication and planning to contribute to its development. His efforts led to improvements in the quality and structure of the golf course, enhancement of facilities, and the promotion and organization of golf in Jaipur.
