In keeping with the achievements of a 7-year-old, Ruslaan Alam Khan, has won three gold and one silver medal in the US Kids Local Tour Golf Championship-Fall Tour - held at Clover Golf Green and Karnataka Golf Association (KGA) Bangalore.

“My coach, Rahul Ganapathy, recognised my aptitude for the game and helped me nurture it. My hard work and determination paid off, and I began competing in local tournaments. My school played a crucial role in shaping my golfing journey and provided unwavering support and a nurturing environment that helped me develop my passion for the game,” says Ruslaan.

As Ruslaan progressed through the ranks, his passion for the game only grew stronger. He spent a lot of time practising, refining his technique, and studying the strategies that would propel him to greater heights. His dedication was fuelled by an unwavering belief in his potential, a conviction that he would one day stand among golfing greats. Despite facing setbacks, doubts and defeats, Ruslaan's spirit remained unbroken. He tackled every obstacle with resilience, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and self-improvement.

Despite his achievements, Ruslaan's journey is far from over. He continues to challenge himself and strive for excellence with every swing of his club, aiming to attain the highest accolades not only for himself but also for those who have supported him along the way. His story serves as an inspiration to all, a reminder that passion, perseverance, and steadfast belief can help accomplish one’s goals.
