    Because the thread is about India so let me use India as an example but by no mean I belittle your country. Let say an Indian national, through his life time, accumulated $1 trillion USD from corruptions and deposited in a Swiss bank on different increments. Every time he made the deposit he...

    India ranks 55th on foreign money in Swiss banks

    Without referring to India alone, it seems there's a lot of illicit and untaxed money hidden among the offshore banking system. Most of these money were probably results from crimes, corruptions and untaxed profits that could well belong to their respective governments' treasuries and if are...

    After 2 days Tiger woods shares the US Open lead with two American veterans, Jim Furyk and David Toms, at -1.

    14-year-old from China to make US Open history

    It's over! Andy Zhang, a 14 year old phenom from China scores +6 through 15 holes today and puts him +15 so far. He'll definitely miss the cut of +8 in order to qualify for the weekend. As a whole he played sub par on pro level but nothing to be ashamed of consider his age and experiences...

The worst thing is no one bother with you if you're over 40 even are willing to start at the lower base pay. They rather hire young guys in which they say are...

    After 15 holes in the US Open at Olympic Club in San Francisco, Andy Zhang has a +8, tie for 75th, which is exceptional good for a 14 year old but mediocre to the field and he needs to play a little better tomorrow in order to make the cut. Many players are still on the field. A relative...

    14-year-old from China to make US Open history

    Not in recent years but quite a few times before they 'Tiger Proof' the course. I can imagine how intimidating the skinny fairways look from the black tees. I played the course well then but I'll take a single digit now though.

    There are hundreds if not thousands of golf courses that are on par with international standards and are building more. I assure you once you hit the ball, which is not easy, nice and clean with a club, you'll not be able to stay away from the game. Golf is a game that's very hard for a...
