80 senior citizens examined at medical camp Chandigarh, May 18 The camp, which was organised in collaboration with Nuga Medical Products, Chandigarh, mainly provided acupressure, far infrared rays and warm heat facilities to the senior citizens. The camp was part of the celebrations of their fourth raising day. Anu Chatrath, councillor, inaugurated the camp and appreciated the efforts of the association in helping senior citizens. She promised that the use of community centres would be allowed to members of the association for their monthly get-together. Emphasising the importance of such camps, Brig Ramesh Chander (retd), president of the association, said senior citizens found it difficult to go to hospitals because a lot of time was wasted there and still they could not get early treatment. The association planned a trip of 26 members to China for eight days under a mutual exchange programme for better cultural ties between both countries.

Grooming
on the greens Chandigarh, May 18 The left-handed Ekam is accompanied by his grandfather Himmat Singh Aneja, who retired as director health services, Punjab. A kindergarten student in Panchkula school, Ekam carries his small golf kit made especially for the 3-5 age-group. Seven-year-old
Mansukh is accompanied by his mother Manpreet. A student of a Sector-40
school, Mansukh is crazy about golf. He took to the game when barely
four. So crazy is he for the game that he used to go all the way from
Chandigarh’s Sector 36 to the Panchkula Golf Course, which is 3 km
beyond Nada Sahib. Mansukh as well as Sumer Khurana, also seven years
old, have played in two IGU tournaments. In fact, according to Ajay
Gujral, Sumer has the best drive among the trainees. “It touches 100
yards.” Ms Gupta has come all the way from Zirakpur with her
10-year-old daughter Isha for the four-month training camp, which
concludes on July 29. These boys and girls are crazy about the game. Their mentor Ajay Gujral has under his belt a seven-day crash course from the European Golf Teachers Federation at Kent (England). The training for youngsters includes hitting on Saturdays and chipping, putting and bunker training by rotation on Sundays. A special coaching literature, which includes a special A to Z of junior golf illustration in comic form, is distributed to trainees. And according to Ajay Gujral, the comics are easily digestible to the younger lot. The coach feels girls are better learners. In fact, they are more serious. On the other hand, boys tend to be naughty, adds Ajay Gujral. The youngsters know that it was on the same greens that golf icons like Chiranjeev Milkha Singh, Amandeep Johl, Harmeet Kahlon, Irina Brar and Parnita Garewal had their grooming. To make the participation more competitive, the coach has introduced a point-list system. This includes one point for dress code and a point each for punctuality and attendance. These
points are given at training sessions on Saturdays and Sundays. “And
at the conclusion of the session, special prizes will be given to the
three best,” adds Ajay Gujral. Gujral feels more competition is
needed for the juniors at the club level. “If nothing else, there can
be pitching and putting competition for juniors and sub-juniors,” he
adds. |
