Hi Jeev, I'm a big fan I love your attitude and the way you play golf. I think it's brilliant that you actually answer these questions. I am 16 years old I am a keen golfer and play to about 15 handicap. I have just done my GCSEs and I am now doing my A Levels. How would you juggle your studies and golf. Or how did u juggle your studies when you played golf at a young age. Thanks a lot keep up the great work and I'm watching you in the matchplay so good luck!

Will McOnie

Dear Will, thank you for writing in. Although I had a pretty convincing win against Lee Westwood, things didn't really go my way after that and I didn't progress further than the group stage. I think it's great that you have got to 15 handicap at your age, especially when you have been doing your GCSE's. I think you should really concentrate hard on your A Levels and get good grades in them. If you have any spare time you can then practice and play golf. I attended Abilene Christian University in the United States of America on a scholarship and obtained a degree in business and international studies and was able to combine golf and studying which was perfect for me. Gpod luck, Jeev.

Dear Mr.Singh, I am 11 years old. Golf is my favourite sport. I admire you a lot. Please can you give me any tips on putting and why you hole so many putts. Iman Hansra

Iman Hansra

Hello Iman, I think good putting is really down to keeping your head very still, having a gentle grip on the putter and making sure that you have a very smooth stroke and really concentrating on the line and length of your putt. I guess I hole quite a lot of putts because I've been doing it for a long time now and I always make sure that I practice as much as I can. Kind regards, Jeev.

I am 7 years old. I enjoy golf a lot. I have a lesson in a group once a week for an hour. Is there any advice you can give me to progress. I have not yet played a full round, only par 3's

Jay Singh Pandhal

Hello Jay, it's wonderful that you are seven and taking group lessons. I think at your age you are doing just the right thing and whilst you have not played a full round as yet I would use the Par Three course and practice on there as much as you can. If all goes well you could maybe get some private coaching to progress more. I wish you the best of luck. Kind regards, Jeev.

Dear Mr. Singh, I am a south-zone level player and I am 12 years old. I will be going for a tournament in Mysore and I feeling nervous. How do I stop feeling nervous? I followed all your shots on the internet at the Turning Stone Resort Championship. You played very well and next year you should be in the top 20 in the world rankings. NIKHIL KAPUR

Nikhil Kapur

Dear Nikhil, if you are going into the tournament at Mysore you must be a good player so you must trust your golf swing and keep the nerves at bay. Just concentrate on one shot at a time, make sure you take plenty of liquid, eat bananas and nuts to keep your energy up and above all enjoy yourself. If you get into a tricky situation you must not panic but take your time, think carefully and take a few deep breaths as this will lower your heart rate and make sure you are focused. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you do well. Kind regards, Jeev.

Dear Jeev, I was looking forward to seeing you at the President's Cup and am disappointed to miss seeing you in San Francisco. It's unfortunate that your injury happened at the wrong time and you just missed out. I really enjoyed seeing your coverage on TV at Doral and at the Masters with Tiger. As one of your ardent fans I wish you all the best for the remaining year and for 2010...I hope we will see you in the Top 10 in the world in 2010; not just in the "Rest of the World" rankings. Please keep up the great performances. With best wishes and regards, Rahul

Rahul Jain

Dear Rahul, thank for your your message - yes I am obviously disappointed not to make the President's Cup team and my injury was certainly at a bad time. Glad you're enjoying watching the golf and thanks for you support - very much appreciated. Regards, Jeev
