•Aarish Chhabra: Most people see golf as a boring game. Do you see a Twenty-20 version of the game or will it remain traditional?

A game like golf is quite different from cricket and there are more traditionalists who follow the game world over. Perhaps they can come up with a new ranking policy. But as far as the format is concerned, I do not see any change in the coming years. It all depends on the performance of the players to make the game popular. Look at what Tiger Woods has done to the game. His name alone gives so much publicity to the tournament he plays in.

•Preeti Prashar: Do you set individual goals and what is life beyond golf for you?

There is no such thing as individual goals. I play the game because of my love for it and I take all things in my stride, irrespective of whether I win or lose. Life beyond golf? Perhaps open a golf academy or indulge in social activities. I love going on safaris and whenever I get time, I go to South Africa for safaris.

•Jagmeeta Thind Joy: In a game like golf, it is important to relax. How do you do that?

The toughest thing in a game like golf is to control the mind. I guess yoga does that for me. There is a special exercise which I follow called the candle exercise in which one has to concentrate on the tip of the candle light. It is like a jigsaw puzzle in which one has to concentrate on more than 30,000 things that come into your mind. Besides this, I like to watch movies. I also consult many top psychologists. But a driver can teach you how to drive a car but it depends on you how you drive the car.
