TRAINING
with Gary
In a coaching career that spans more than 25 years, Gary Gilchrist
has been responsible for recruiting, training and developing more
professional, amateur and junior golfers than any other coach in the
world. His system of training applies to golfers of all ages and abilities.
At GGGA’s training facilities, it isn’t uncommon to see Gary coaching
tour players. Last month, three professional golfers from India (Sharma
Nicollet from Chandigarh, Saaniya Sharma, and Tvesa Malik from
Gugaon) worked with Gary at the training facilities at Mission Inn Resort.
TVESA MALIK (Gugaon, India)
Tvesa Malik and her sister used to tag along with their dad
while he played golf. She fell in love with the game and
decided to pursue it seriously.
Tvesa won a number of junior and amateur events before
turning pro in 2017. In her short professional career, she
already has four wins under her belt. At just 22 years old,
Tvesa is ranked first on this year’s Hero Order of Merit.
SAANIYA SHARMA (Bangalore, India)
Saaniya Sharma is a seasoned golfer who turned pro in 2007.
She’s had many successes and also persevered through some challenging times including an injury in 2017. But the
ups and downs haven’t stopped Saaniya. She is determined to reach her full potential. She finds inspiration in the
stories of other players who have achieved a comeback following injury. For Saaniya, it’s important to play in the
present - to focus and breathe. She believes in sticking to the process including her pre- and post- shot routines.
SHARMILA NICOLLET (Chandigarh, India)
Twenty-seven year old Sharma Nicollet turned professional in 2009 when she
was only 18 years old. She is the youngest Indian golfer to qualify for the Ladies
European Tour and the second Indian to earn a full card on the Ladies European
Tour. She has a total of fifteen professional tour wins.
In addition to being a professional golfer, Sharma is also an online influencer and
media personality. A typical day for Sharma includes six hours of golf, two hours at
the gym, dinner and sleep. Sharma credits her strong support team which includes
her mom and her coach for helping keep her focused and on track.
