Golf enthusiasts, few small doubts.   How many types of golf clubs are there? One for long distance, one for short putting? Do they carry their own golf balls or does the event organizer provide them with designated tournament balls?   Do they play the same 18 holes on all 4 days here, or its it 18x4=72 different holes?   Are PGA/LPGA golf courses much larger than this Olympics course, hence with higher par for every shot?

India winning the bronze medal in men’s hockey at the Olympics, after a gap of 41 years, is perhaps the greatest achievement for sports in the country.

Imo, belittling cricketing achievements is wrong, but it’s absolutely okay to criticise the lack of achievements in a sport where you have virtual monopoly, best sporting infrastructure, well compensated athletes, etc. If Hockey had even 1% of the infrastructure and funding Cricket receives, we would have won medals at every Olympics and world championships post 2000, with many golds

We dont have best infrastructure even for cricket. We still have poor nutrition and poor standard of living for aspiring cricketers. Politics involved too.

Who is saying not to criticise cricket if they fail? We have set very high standards for our cricketers. And cricket generate it's own revenue .
