Talented young golfer Teghbir Singh got selected in the mens under 19 Auckland team and played against Wellington on August 27 and 28 at Taupo. He won all his matches against the Wellington team and secured a 100% record in his first appearance representing Auckland. In the final result Auckland beat Wellington by 8 to 7 matches.
Teghbir started his golf at the age of 13 under the watchful guidance of his father, Kharag Singh Sidhu who is well known and respected in Auckland’s golfing circles. Teghbir and his father also won the Non Resident Indian (NRI) Tournament in Chandigarh, India, in 2008, where they were felicitated by the chief minister of the state of Haryana. From thereon, Teghbir’s interest in the game got cemented and he started focusing more on its finer aspects and has had a very successful run in the local Auckland golf tournaments.
He is a member of Manukau Golf Club in Takanini and has been fortunate enough to receive training from some of the best professional names in the country, including Rore Morre who is a NZ PGA Pro who has been coaching Teghbir to fine tune his game. Recently, Teghbir represented his club in the senior team and he tasted success there as well. As a member of Manukau Junior Golf team, Teghbir won the Auckland Championship last year and are in Finals this year which will be played at Pukekohe on 4th September.
Ever since the news of his win, congratulations have been pouring in from friends and family in New Zealand, India and his relatives in the USA. The entire Sidhu family is proud at the achievements of this young boy and are confident that one day he will be duly recognised on the international stage and make the name of his family proud.
Talking to some veterans, they believe that it is the first time a young lad of Indian origin has achieved this success in the game of Golf. It is indeed a proud moment for the entire 120000 Indians living in New Zealand. Teghbir is a practicing Sikh and dons the traditional Patka (head gear) and an unshorn beard.
