The Ba Golf Community has been commended by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Professor Biman Prasad for their efforts in promoting sportsmanship, teamwork, and healthy living through the 4 Men Ambrose Golf Tournament held in Ba.

He further says that recreational sports play a vital role in fostering healthy lifestyles and community unity.
