EDITOR’S NOTE JUNIORS TO THE FORE! Sifat Sagoo (R), best amateur at Hero Women’s Indian Open 2018 T ANIL DEV Editor-in-chief he Indian junior golfers have been faring well in India and abroad. Although the Asian games team could not perform as expected but it indeed was a great exposure for the players. Sifat Sagoo aptly described her experience at the Asian Games “To represent my country at the Asian Games is a feeling I cannot express in words. It has been one of the high points of my short career. To be able to play against some of the best amateurs in Asia was a great feeling. It was a huge step for me and one that will always be in my memory”. The juniors were rocking and shining at the Hero Women’s Indian Open 2018 in the amateur category. Sifat Sagoo and Diksha Dagar who represented India at the recent Asian Games in Jakarta were a part of the event with Pranavi Urs and Gaurika Bishnoi adding to the spot light. Besides participating in the Open, juniors also attended clinics to better their game. Also, it was great to see a number of juniors volunteering at the event.
