Disappointing way to end

Personally, I am disappointed with what has been done to the Delhi Golf Club course. They have messed up the fairways and even good shots end up in the rough. As a kid I played so much golf here and it was designed by people like Peter Thomson, who did a great job, and people enjoyed the challenge of this course. But now it can get frustrating.

Overall, though, it was a wonderful week. I caught up with lot of old friends and relatives and it was nice to Indian golf do so well.

I am also happy for Jeev doing well. He showed signs of challenging for the title, and though he didn8217;t win it, a fourth place, his best ever, is good to work on for the next time. His first win here would have taken a monkey off his back. I am delighted to see the kind of talent in Indian golf today. While Mukesh Kumar and Sanjay Kumar are experienced campaigners, the likes of Ashok Kumar, Jaiveer Virk, Himmat Rai and Gaganjeet Bhullar are fantastic talents.

Liang Wen-chong is a fantastic competitor. If there is a list of workaholics in the golf world, I am certain his name will figure somewhere on the top. He is like Vijay Singh, working endlessly to achieve perfection. Indeed his opening round was pretty close to perfect. That final hole birdie was a classic. Attacking the pin when going into a play-off is something nine out of ten golfers will avoid doing, preferring to play it safe. Liang is not your ordinary golfer.
