I am an aspiring Professional Golfer.  I started playing competitive golf at age of 22.  Since then I have been participating in amateur competitions organized by Indian Golf Union. I also competed in various district tournaments.

I represented Uttar Pradesh in National Golf Competition Amateur in February and June months of 2018.

How am I able to manage sports and budget of household, currently?
Recently, I have qualified for a BPO job at EXL, Noida. Taking the decision to apply for a job is necessary because I started playing game in early twenties. I am not earning as an amateur golfer from tournaments. My mother and father are retired teachers from Navodaya Vidyalaya. I requested them to allow me to play game and prepare for Professional Tournament ,they support me completely with a time limit.  My elder sister is sole earning member of the family.
