An “awareness of where the golf club is” was the only way golf pro John Randle could explain the phenomenon of five-year-old Jeevan Sihota not only winning a junior par-three tournament in par, but by carding the top score in the tournament for children up to the age of sixteen!
Having taken on Jeevan about four months ago, Randle has reduced his training schedule to just one lesson per week, based on Jeevan’s incredible ability to learn. The golf pro knows well that, for a five-year-old, it can’t all be about lessons; "I make sure he's having fun, and sneak in some instruction when he's not looking" Randle explains.
When asked about his technique, Jeeven spoke in terms of clear objectives; "I like to hit the ball right by the hole." Although being a fairly convention approach, the technique must be working as Jeeven continues to go from strength to strength, despite the fact that he has yet to even enter the education system! If, at the age of five, Jeevan is already outplaying most children in the world, where he’ll be after another decade of training may be too incredible to conceivably imagine. One thing is for sure though; I wouldn’t want the pressure of being John Randle right now!
