Foundation & Growth
The Indian Pitch and Putt Association (IPPA) was established with a forward-looking vision, to introduce and structure a modern, accessible format of golf in India that aligns with global trends and growing interest in the sport.
While Pitch and Putt has been steadily gaining popularity across international markets, India remained an untapped landscape with immense potential. Recognizing this opportunity, IPPA was formed to bring the sport into the mainstream and create a structured ecosystem for its growth and development.
A defining milestone in the association’s journey came early, with official recognition from the Federation of International Pitch and Putt Associations (FIPPA), the global governing body for the sport. This recognition, achieved within the initial phase of the association’s formation, positioned IPPA as the official representative of Pitch and Putt in India on the international stage.
In its foundational stage, IPPA has focused on:
- Establishing governance and structure for the sport in India
- Building strategic relationships with stakeholders, new developments and partners
- Creating awareness and interest among players, institutions and communities
- Laying the groundwork for competitive play and future expansion
Though in its early days, the association carries a clear ambition, to rapidly scale Pitch and Putt across India, making it a sport that is not only accessible but also aspirational.
With international backing, a strong strategic vision, and a commitment to grassroots development, IPPA is poised to become the driving force behind a new era of this format of golf in India.
