Shubham Jaglan, 10 years old, has created history by winning the IJGA World Stars of Junior Golf event in Las Vegas. The son of a milkman shot a three round score of 106 winning by a five-stroke margin, ahead of two Americans Justin Dang and Sihan Sandhu and Thailand’s Pongsapak Laopakdee. Jaglan had triumphed by one stroke at the Junior World Golf Championships after scoring a three-day total of seven-under 179 at the Welk Resort Fountain Course in California.

Former golfer Nonita Lall Qureshi has been training Shubham. It seems that the young boy had been practising for quite a long time now. Perhaps arrangements were also made by his trainer so that he can even practice at home with the help of golf simulators and hanging golf-screens/ sewn-in-strap golf simulator screens. However, before he could get hold of his current owner, he dedicated his time to practicing the sports all by himself. Actually, he was five years old when he started golf, practicing in an agricultural field. He has already won over 100 tournaments. In turn, this might encourage many aspiring and budding golfers to take up the sport seriously. As a first step, they need to strive to improve themselves and get better at the sport. Golf skills can be improved in numerous ways. The driving range is a good place to start. Many of them, however, use launch monitors to provide pinpoint accuracy and analytics (read more on this here), while others who already practice the sport look for upgrades to their clubs and equipment. A person may concentrate on improving only one aspect of their skills at a time. Putting, for example, is often overlooked as a critical component of golf. An expert golfer can still make a mistake yards from the hole, no matter how many hours they spend perfecting their swing and spin. So one must keep their practice up at all times. Looking at sites like golfingrevolution.com could help budding golfers learn the ropes better.
