I am not sure whether the Indo Canadian Golf Association satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. If it doesn't, the article Indo Canadian Golf Association may well be deleted sooner or later. However, a more pressing concern is that the article seems promotional in tone, written as though it is intended to impress us with how good the association is. Under Wikipedia policy, a promotional article may be deleted immediately, but rather than implementing that policy I am giving you a warning, so as to give you a chance to try to save the article by editing it to make it more neutral in tone. However, if it remains in its present state for much longer it may well be deleted.

My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.
