Jeev: Indian golfers must sharpen short game for Asian Games

Jeev: Indian golfers must sharpen short game for Asian Games

A famous Indian golfer named Jeev Milkha Singh gave advice to golfers heading to the Asian Games.

The Asian Games will be held in Japan, in a place called Aichi-Nagoya.

Jeev said the putting greens in Japan are very fast and slippery.

He told the players to practice their short game a lot.

That means lots of chipping, putting and wedge shots.

Japan's greens are much faster than the ones in India.

The wind in Japan can also change direction very quickly.

So Jeev said players should use their maps and yardage books to get the right distance.

Jeev thinks India has a good chance of winning a medal at the Games.

Six golfers from India will play, including Yuvraj Sandhu and Aditi Ashok.
