Tendulkar, who has a Villa at the Kensville Golf and Country Club, took time out to go around the golf course and also interact with the players.<\/p>\n<p>The players, fans, officials and members of Kensville virtually swarmed the legendary cricketer, who seemed to enjoy himself in the midst of sportsmen and fans.<\/p>\n<p>Tendulkar tried his hand at driving and then putting, too, alongside many of the internationals, like Shiv Kapur, Gaganjeet Bhullar, Rich Beem, Rahil Gangjee and Rhys Davies, who are participating here this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been to many golf courses and even had an occasional attempt at the driving range, but visiting a golf course, while a tournament is in progress was a new experience. I really enjoyed and the golf course is a lovely one. I have seen other courses, but I really liked this one,\u201d said Tendulkar.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he would take up golf seriously sometime, Tendulkar said, \u201cI enjoy racket sports and have not been able to play golf. My focus has been cricket, maybe golf will come sometime in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked what was special about the course, he laughed added, \u201cI liked the bunkers. They look great but don\u2019t get into them. The greens is where you should play. They are great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tendulkar hit about 25-30 balls on the driving range and not once did he mis-hit or shank. \u201cI enjoyed the sound of some of the shots,\u201d he said of the ones, which hit the sweet spot. His former Mumbai colleague, Rahul Sanghvi, a former India spinner, also had a few shots.<\/p>\n<p>A good number of drives sailed past the 200 and 250 yards when he teed up a bit high. But after adjusting the height of the tee, his shots went past 250 and some even touched 300 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Tendulkar later took part in the putting challenge with his teammates being Shiv Kapur and Gaganjeet Bhullar. They were up against a team, which included Rich Beem, Rahil Gangjee and Rhys Davies.<\/p>\n<p>Kensville Golf Living presented a cheque of Rs. one lakh to Tendulkar\u2019s Charitable Trust.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahmedabad: The Golfing community got a taste of super celebrity as Sachin Tendulkar paid a visit to the Kensville Golf and Country Club on Friday.
