ECONOMIC An Inter-House Economic Symposium was held for classes 11 and 12 on Friday the 1st. The topics were:
|
Varun Wadhwa of 7-A and Karan Vasudev of 8-A, both regulars on the Indian golf circuit. They told us a thing or two about their prodigious careers. Aman Raj Khanna, a member of the Editorial Board spoke to them both. Here is an excerpt from the interview. Q: When did start playing golf and how did you get into it? Varun: I started 3 years back when I was 8. My Dad played at the Delhi Golf Club and encouraged me to start golf too. After a while I got a coach and took it up seriously. Karan: I started in class-4 when I was nine. My Dad is a regular player and I used to accompany him to the club. Once in Bombay I got tempted to try and never looked back since then. Q: How do you train? Varun: I go every day to practice, usually at the D.G.C. I have an Australian coach who makes me train hard. Karan: once I get back home, I get my clubs and leave to practice. I practice everyday from 5-7 except on weekends and play the course 16 times a month. Q: Do you find it tough to cope with schoolwork while being committed to the circuit? Varun: I only study during the exams. Karan: It is tough but I manage to balance it out and set aside time for my studies as well. I'll leave school early to practice on specialization days. |
Q: What is essential to win on the circuit? Varun: You need to work hard, train hard, practice hard, and give your best when it matters. Karan: Temperament is essential. You need to have the will to win and the killer instinct to grab your chance when it comes to you. Q: Any role models? Varun: (Bursting with excitement) Tiger Woods! Karan: No doubt about it. He's the best! Q: What plans do you have for the future? Varun: After finishing school, I would like to take up golf as a primary career. I would want to get into the P.G.A but first I'll have to play in the Indian circuit, which I am not too keen about. Karan: I'll try to get a college scholarship into a U.S college and after finishing my studies pursue golf as a permanent career and try to get into the P.G.A.
