A Non-resident Kapur Singh had started an academy in a village where Jaglan took the admission and had commenced play in the farm fields of the village. The academy had closed after a few days. But, Shubam Jaglan did not stop playing. He continued to play and practice near his house after cleaning a farm field. His father put a green grass in the field and gave it the shape of three hole golf field. Delhi Golf club on learning of this budding star gave a scholarship of $ 3200 yearly, and a free club membership. Jaglan had no turning back on his passion. He would watch the videos on the YouTube and continued to practice. He would first watch the video, learn the technique and then practice in the farm field to perfection.
