The golfer, who started playing the sport at the age of six, has won more than 100 tournaments in his age group and is vying to achieve more in the coming years.
“He eats, breathes, drinks golf. Shubham is so knowledgeable and eager to learn every day. I think this is what makes him special and stand out in the crowd," Shubham’s coach Nonita L Qureshi said.
The Haryana golfer, who won the World Junior Championship last year and went on to win US Kids Gold World Championships this year, have been getting offers for the biopic to be made on him but his well wishers and parents want him to be grounded and to focus on his game.
“I said no to the offers from some of the film directors we got. We want him to be grounded and achieve what other golfers strive for," Delhi Golf Foundation founder Amit Luthra said.
