6 local caddies make it to qualifying school
Chandigarh, June 15 In its continuous mission of producing as many professional golfers as possible, the Chandigarh Golf Association (CGA) launched a special free coaching programme “Talent Hunt” for caddy golfers at the CGA Range, which concluded here, today. As many as 25 caddy golfers participated in the camp held under the guidance and instructions of Mr Jesse Grewal, a class ‘A; teaching professional, ably supported by Mr Mahesh Kumar who is a class ‘C’ teaching professional. It was Mr J.S. Cheema, general secretary and Chairman of activities committee, CGS Golf range, who initiated the idea of training the caddy golfers. “The coaching has been planned two days in a week (Mondays and Thursdays) spread over a period of seven weeks. A limitation of two days has been kept with a view to enabling caddies to do caddy work for their daily earnings. The next camp is scheduled in July-August“, he said. “It is planned to run four courses in a year out of which three will be for those who intend to turn professionals and one for selected 15 caddy golfers for ‘excellence’. These camps included basic instructions, etiquette, fundamentals of the game and much more. Proper emphasis is being laid to upgrade the caddy’s knowledge which will further helpful to the players during the game.” “I felt that some of the caddies possessed coaching skills and these six caddy golfers had aptitude for coaching. They can enhance their daily earnings by coaching. Those who could not become professionals or coaches can provide guidance to the players during the game because they would learn the basics of the game”, said coach Jesse Grewal. The entire caddy lot, majority of who come from very humble background, are highly motivated by this course. Initially, they took up the caddy work to earn their living. Over a period of time their inborn talent comes to the fore but due to lack of resources and financial support they were unable to give exposure to their gold potential. It may be appreciated that some of the leading golfers on the national circuit are erstwhile caddies. “This is an incessant process and more such camps will be held in the near future and we hope that some of these golfers will join the amateur as well as professional circuits, concluded Mr Grewal. |
