PUNE: From swinging a golf club for fun in his childhood days to holding a full card on the Asian Tour, Veer Ahlawat has come a long way. Growing up Ahlawat was exposed to a variety of sports, thanks to his father Yashpal Ahlawat being a Colonel in the army.
"Until my fifth class I played basketball and then till 10th I played football. My father used to play golf and I would just go hit a few balls with him and his friends. I liked it but I didn't fall in love with it," the younger Ahlawat said on Wednesday, after carding 3-under 63 in the opening round of the Pune Open on the PGTI Tour.
