The DGC Open: Aalaap IL and playing under the gun

Aalaap IL came close to be penalised for slow pace of play on Day 1 of The DGC Open on Thursday.

The Delhi Golf Club was anyway intimidating with its natural vegetation. After the redesign of the Lodhi Course, strategizing around the greens too has come into play.

Enough to preoccupy a pro in a high-pressure week like The DGC Open on the Asian Tour.

But imagine playing against the clock! Aalaap IL had the referee literally breathing down his neck from Holes 7-17.

It had its repercussions as Aalaap had virtually no time to plan his shots, and that isn’t the recipe for success at this demanding venue.
