About Me

About me: An avid Professional Golfer who recently scored a hole-in-one in the Louis Philippe Cup. Golf is my passion, my life, my getaway, and my first love. There’s no denying the pull of Golf. That explains why I ditched sports like Football and Volleyball to pursue my passion for Golf.


 



What inspired me to take up Golf: I don’t come from the conventional ‘golf’ financial background. Yet I have been able to pursue my dreams and carve a niche of my own in the Golfing world. I was caddying in Chandigarh Golf Club and I was drawn into the lure of the game. And within no time, I put my best foot forward to turn a pro.


 


 

On choosing Golf over Volleyball:  As a kid, I was into all kinds of sports including Football and Volley Ball. In fact, I almost went on to represent India in Volleyball but due to some reason (that indulged a lot of politics), I couldn’t do so. But in Golf, I did not come across any such politics. My talent was well rewarded and today I am playing as a pro golfer. Golf has taught me how to handle life more than anyone or anything else ever could.


 


 

On making Golf affordable:  Yes, Golf is an expensive game but I am happy that I got a lot of financial support from Jyoti Makharu, Satish Pardesi and Akanksha Gupta. I can’t thank them more for helping me navigate through my monetary issues and help my game. I feel Golf should be both accessible and affordable in India so that more hidden talent can come forward and ride the crest of success.
