NOIDA: Fifteen-year-old golf player Zara Anand from Noida has won the silver medal at the 37th National Games Golf Championships at the Delhi Golf Club this year. From the last position (33rd rank) in the 2022 championship, Zaras journey, said her coach, has not been smooth.Zara was infected with Covid in 2021 and then diagnosed with severe hyperthyroidism.She was constantly losing weight and energy despite taking rest. She lost all hope when she stood last in the 2022 championship. It was my toughest time with her in the last 10 years. But I kept boosting her enthusiasm and faith, said coach Amit Dubey.I couldnt play for four months after last years nationals. I went under medication, but I again started practising in March this year. My biggest inspiration is my grandfather, a golf player, too, said Anand.At the nationals this year, Anand scored 74, 73, 73 and 73 in four rounds of intense competition.She started going to the golf course when she was only four. Her grandfather inspired her. Our family has always loved and supported sports, said her father, Vivek Anand.In Class 10 now, Zara said she takes online classes at an American school. Till Class 8, I went to a CBSE school in Noida. However, the regular classes would hamper my practice timings. Hence, I took admission to an American school, where I take online classes, she said.After school, Zara would get admitted to an American college to continue practising with golf professionals there, said her coach.For a game like golf, America has the best competitive environment and money, like India has for cricket. She has the talent. To build a career, that would be the best place for her, said Dubey.We also published the following articles recentlyLee Hyori admits she has not kissed her husband in over a yearDuring an interview on Tak Jae Hoons YouTube show, singer Lee Hyori revealed that she and her husband Lee Sang Soon havent kissed in over a year.
