Arjun started his amateur Golf in July 2015, after watching his cousin play the game.  Under the able mentoring of his grandfather, Arjun began training at the Noida Stadium and then graduated to the Noida Golf Club.  In 2017, he joined the Siri Fort DDA Sport Complex in New Delhi and trained under the guidance of Amandeep Jahal Gold Academy (National Coach).

He says, “I knew that Golf was a game of self-discipline, confidence and concentration.  Immense support from my parents and grand parents and extensive physical training to strengthen my body, and mind training to improve my confidence at the sports complex every Saturday and Sunday, have allowed me to enhance my skills in the game..“
