Golf in India

Have you ever wondered why golf was so popular and what could make people who do not even play golf go to tournaments or watch them on TV?

With the mess of baseball every one or two years, football and basketball players who are imprisoned for beating their wives, drunk driving, destroying their self or the lives of others, taking steroids and other drugs, it is possible that we opt for golf if a strong desire to see sport takes me, even if I am not a golfer or amateur. When it comes to the Golf in India the popularity is the highest.

Here’s why!
