GOLF FEDERATION IN ARMENIA
A golf federation has opened in Armenia. The federation was officially registered in December, 2006.
Egor Melikyan, the president of the federation, says they are presently negotiating with the World and European federations for further membership. “They fully realise that Armenia is a weak country from economic point of view and they have fixed special membership dues for us. But matter is not fully considered.”
It is noteworthy that the Armenian people have recently become interested in golf and the number of players has significantly increased. Golf is the most profitable sports in many developed countries. The annual income of many players exceeds $30 million.
