About you: Robert Frost had quoted in one of his beautiful poems ' Stopping by woods on a snowy evening' -  " And miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep" . I am Vaarad Gupte, sixteen years of age and I  have to work hard to achieve my goals and create a niche for myself . Right now I feel embarrassed as there is not much to share about me.  Recently I have given my 10th exams from Lodha World School, Palava and further I would like to pursue business studies in junior college. 

 

What inspired you to take golf:  Infact my dad was very interested in playing golf, but the day I went with him for a demo class, dad was impressed by my approach. Hence he stepped back and initiated me to join golf. Two reasons that inspired me were - 

 

1. Being an amateur in this sport, I stood first from the last in the very first tournament .

 

2. Golf GOD "Tiger Wood" his videos and shots inspire me a lot.

 

 Why golf and not any other sport: My parents always tell me not to follow the crowd, but to do something unique and different.   I have been good at football and volleyball, but I have never felt satisfied . However, when I play golf I have that competitive spirit till my last shot. Every time I challenge myself by raising my bar and setting a new milestone.

 

Your golfing achievement:  I have a long way to go. It's just the beginning. I have received trophies and gift hampers for long drives. I had the opportunity to play with well- renowned gentlemen like Dr Dee (IBM Global Managing Director) and many more. I had given a tough competition to Ex- Indian cricketer Mr. Ajit Agarkar and was 2nd runners up in "The Callaway Chrome soft Challenge" where I  played against many business tycoons.

 

My Golfing Achievements:

:-Winner Of The Palava Opens.

:-Winner Of The Golfnxt Tournament.

:-Winner Of The TBC Golf Championship.

:-2nd Runner s up At The Callaway Chrome Soft Challenge and many more..

 

My actual achievement has yet to come, the dream of playing with Golf God Tiger Wood and Rory Mcllroy. 

 

Interesting/funny moment: During Palava Opens on the 16th hole I was 2 shot lead. My first shot was on the boundary of the deep water hazard. Lucky I was able to play the ball as it lay. But as I lost my  balance after the impact, suddenly I felt something in my stomach and then after a few seconds I realized that I was almost trapped in the deep water hazard and was not able to come out.

 

What would I like to change about Golf: Nothing. Infact Golf changed me.
