THEEIGHTHCOLUMN

How Amaira Gulati is ensuring 'young prodigy in golf' is no longer an oxymoron in India

The morphing of golf from a niche hobby of privileged senior citizens to a dynamic sport in the beginning of 2000 led to the emergence of players like Jyotinder Singh Randhawa, Jeev Milkha Singh Rathore, Arjun Atwal, Anirban Lahiri and Aditi Ashok to name a few. They in turn are inspiring more and more young talents to make golf their passion. This has resulted in a gradual decline of age ceiling for players making ‘impact’ to the extent that the sport is now even producing child prodigies — a phenomenon that would have been considered an oxymoron even a few years ago. One such prodigy to storm into the scene is eight-year-old Amaira Gulati. Read to know how at this tender age, Amaira has already played in more than 60 tournaments, winning around 50 titles with an impressive success rate of over 83 per cent.
