The Driving Range of the Tolly Golf Centre remains more crowded during the weekends than normal weekdays. To top this, Protouch Golf Academy had organized a Junior Skills Competition that spanned between August 24 and 25. Consequently came many youngsters, aspiring golfers who participated in the said competition, to display their skills of chipping and putting.
Amidst all the hustle-bustle, the Protouch correspondents caught Khushi Baid for a short chit chat, while she was practising chipping with her coach, after the competition was over. Khushi Baid is a student of Mahadevi Birla World Academy, and has been a student in Protouch Golf Academy for the last three years. Little Khushi Baid was very happy to talk about her triumphs, trials and personal growth.
