Jeev excited to have first swing after 2 months but predicted no tournaments in near future

As Chandigarh Golf Club threw open its sprawling greens on Wednesday after relaxation of lockdown guidelines, ace golfer Jeev Milkha Singh said he was excited to have his first swing after two months but predicted no tournaments in the near future.

The club was thrown open after the central government announced a slew of relaxations in the fourth phase of the nationwide lockdown. However, barring the golf course, all other facilities like gymnasium and restaurants will remain close.

"I am really glad, this was something different. I am excited to be back on the golf course after two months. I thank God that I was able to play the game I love playing, which has given me recognition, chance to represent my country," Jeev told PTI.

"When you have everything, sometimes you don't respect it that much. When you don't get these things, then you realise that this is not there forever, you must respect that. I realise that today."
"I used to take golf, and many other things, for granted. Never again. Just need to count our blessings at everything life gives us."
