/DGLHVRQWKH/LQN LADIES GOLF CLINIC IN NOIDA STADIUM Group Picture Kiran Choudhary Kamal Mehrotra Madhu Sharma Neelam Anand Simran Bajaj (Captain of Noida Golf Course) - I have been associated with this game for the past 30 years Since both my daughters are working and I am the only one who is really actively playing. I am playing golf from last 18 years and really enjoying this game. I started playing golf in Bhatinda. I have played in Port Blair, U.S.A etc. I started playing golf 6-7 years back. My husband used to play. I never played any game in my life. My husband insisted. He bought me a new golf set from abroad and that got me started. I have been playing golf for 20 years. I used to work earlier. My game is as bad or good as it was before. So I am here to improve it, to learn and try to do my best as much as I can. I have not been playing golf for very long but I play at the Delhi Golf Club so that makes the competition tougher as it is one of the toughest courses. It is quite an addictive game. Former International Golf Professional, Amandeep Johl conducted an ‘Introduction to the Basics of Golf’ clinic for the lady golfers of Noida Golf Course at the Noida Sports Stadium - Golf Range. Eighteen ladies participated in the clinic. Ladies speak about their experience. What are your expectations from this clinic? KC: My expectation is to just improve my game.
