About me:  I am professional golfer currently playing on the Ladies European Tour and WGAI Tour (Women’s Golf Association of India). My journey in golf began when I was 8 years old. I practiced and competed in my hometown (Delhi NCR) for the first few years but only began travelling for golf at the age of 13. Since then, I have had the opportunity to play and compete all over the globe.

What inspired me to take Golf: My parents exposed my younger sister and I to golf at a young age. I guess it came quite naturally to us and it helped that we both had company while learning the sport.  We spent a lot of time together practicing and competing against each other or at summer camps- which made golf more enjoyable at that age.

Why golf and not any other sport: I played a lot of sports while growing up. However, after some time I had to narrow down the sports that I wanted to play because any game demands a certain level of time and dedication to become good at it. I could not choose one at first, so I chose golf and tennis and then eventually decided to spend my time pursuing only golf.

Golfing achievements

Extensive international experience having represented India at the Asian Games in 2014, the World Amateur Team Championships (Japan, 2014), and the South American Amateur Championship (Colombia, 2014).

Competed at the NCAA Division 1 Collegiate Level at California State University, Sacramento (2014-2018)

Interesting/funny moment

I have often been confused as my sister on and off the golf course and end up leaving people unclear as to whom they played with or met recently.

What would I like to change about Golf

My hope for golf is that it becomes more accessible for everyone to play. Professional Tours all over the world are steadily making efforts to teach, raise funds, and grow the sport. Efforts to reduce the costs that come with playing the sport as well as having more access facilities will surely help increase the number of players that take up the sport.
