GPJ: For how long have you been
playing golf?

around 3.5 years.

IA: My uncle, a keen golfer himself
introduced me to the game. When I was
8 years old he told my dad that I have
the talent for the sport. After a session at
the driving range my father bought me a
set and that is how it all started.
GPJ: How do you manage golf and
studies?
IA: Sometimes I face problem managing
golf and studies at the same time for
even missing summative assessments
sometimes for golf tournaments. I come
back from school at 4:30 then going on
the course at 5 for practice. It’s pretty
hard doing all the homework and stuff
but my passion for golf helps making it
manageable.
GPJ: What has been the role of IGU?

Their competition is amazing and
course management is perfect.

day-to-day activity?
IA: Golf has made me more patient. It
has made me a better self.
GPJ: Your advice to other Junior
Golfers?
IA: Never play against the Player, Play
against the course. If you play against
the player your own game would shut
down and if you play against the course,
you could see your game turning up.
