Golf as a sport is always given bad-press for not being a real sport. Today on our show, we have a gold coach, Tarun Sardesai in conversation about Golf Coaching and much more, tune in! Tarun started playing golf at a very young age, much to everyone’s surprise, strange glances were a part of his life since he took on golf professionally. After a few years of playing, his game went down and he was suggested to become a coach by his own coach. Saying yes, disheartened, Tarun found his true calling in teaching the sport once he learned about the intricacies of Golf and now he wants to become the best coach of India. In the interview, he tells us the method of training one has to go through to become a great golfer, one must focus on the holistic system, mental and physical aspects of life. In 2013, Tarun started his own academy called Tarun Sardesai Golf Academy which became a residency school by 2016. His academy provides children with conventional education alongside Golf training, with the primary focus being on golf. Tarun talks to us about the response of parents to his academy and he shares how parents are now conscious of what their children want to become. Lastly, he shares the science involved in teaching golf. According to Tarun, the subconscious mind plays a major role in the performance of a player. He tells us how the player should live like a world-class player to perform like one. Tune in to listen about Tarun’s noble idea behind setting up this academy!
