Indian Govt Does Not Understand Golf’s Potential, Says Ex-India Golfer Amandeep Singh Johl
Delhi Golf Club League: In a country like India where sports like golf don't get much recognition, former India golfer Amandeep Singh Johl has called out for the government to put more focus on the sport, claiming that they have not yet realised its potential.
“India has a long way to go in golf. We as a country are not able to understand the potential of the game. When I went to China in 1990 for the Asian Games, there were 5-10 courses. When I went back five years later, it had 463.
"Our government, our politicians are unable to understand the potential of the game. Now that Golf is an Olympic sport, we have Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar in the Olympics. The Government should build more golf courses and India can go really, really far,” Amandeep told IANS on Wednesday.
