For a game that's left divots in almost every continent (and whose often breathtaking 'fields' of play one can admire in Cancun, Coimbatore and Cairo), it is mystifying why golf has only once been included as a discipline at the Olympic Games (St. Louis, 1904; the U.S.A. and Canada were the only countries taking part). More than any other sport at the quadrennial showpiece, golf has impeccable global credentials; it's no longer the preserve of the U.S. and Europe. In the run up to Beijing 2008, there's been much international lobbying-and consensus too-to have golf as part of the event program in 2016.

Tanya tops in Texas: Tanya Wadhwa's only 15 (she turns 16 in September) but plays with the confidence of a been-there-done-that professional. In a performance of maturity that's fast becoming the norm for her, Wadhwa took top honors in the Texas Women's Open in late June, in the process becoming the event's youngest winner. Clearly, there's more to come from this teen phenom. |

Inspiring juniors: For the Delhi Golf Club JTP 2008 we adopted the same format as last year. I must confess that for me there was a feeling of 'deja vu'-as Chairman, I had introduced the four coaches and the four camps of 14 days each in the year 2000. Not that we had run out of ideas, simply that the program in its present form has been successful and much sought after, and even emulated by other clubs. |

Lunar in Leh: For the highest golf course in the world, conjuring up visions of precipitous slopes and undulating fairways at 11,302 feet, the Leh Golf Course, christened the Fire & Fury G.C. by the Army, is surprisingly expansive and flat. |
