Noida: On the sunny morning of Thursday (December 22nd), the lawns of Noida Golf Club in Sector 38, witnessed the Christmas Golf Game which everyone enjoyed to the zenith. The ladies were decked up in a combination of red, white and green colours which signifies Christmas.

The party was kept to make the helpers feel happy and connected with them. According to these golfers, no one is different and no one should be discriminated on the basis of their colour or caste or creed. So the main motive behind this party was to play golf, enjoy, dance, have scrumptious food, sing songs and pamper the helpers who work all time for them.

The women golfers gathered together in the field at 11 am, some of them were in the attire of golf players and the rest were in their party wears. Followed by the golf session, later they indulged in some sunbathing near the poolside and enjoyed a lip-smacking breakfast.
