DGCL 2024: Without Govt's Support, It's Not Possible To Get Champions, Says Ex-India Golfer Ashok Malik
Delhi Golf Club League: Former India golfer Ashok Malik believes that the government's support is a must to produce world champions in golf while adding that talents should be picked at a young age and mentored well throughout.
"I think parts of the government still consider it a rich man's sport so there is not much encouragement. We do need government help, without that it's not possible because to get champions we've to get them at a very young age and keep them going at it all the time. So they don't have any chance of getting alternate employment, they got to be looked after properly," Ashok told IANS.
The veteran golfer, who won the All-India Amateur Championships on five occasions, was not pleased with the Indian golfers' performance in the Paris Olympics. "I wasn't very happy and we should have done better," he said.
