Tarun & Team

ABOUT TARUN SARDESAI

Tarun Sardesai is a former golf Professional who realised his love for teaching early on in his career. His then coach Donato Ponziano gave him a push in the right direction and there has been no looking back since.

Tarun's penchant for learning puts him in the league of men and coaches who’s teaching is driven not only by experience but also knowledge and science. He is not only upto date with all the goings on in the world of golf coaching, but uses this effectively to give his students high quality information – the best they can possibly access.

In early 2013 he set up base at the now Zion Hills Golf County to build a junior development program rooted in creating a love for the game and nurturing talent.

Since then, the academy has grown and reached greater heights with his determination to create an environment of excellence that allows young golfers to live their life like elite athletes. He conducts classroom sessions on aspects such as routine, handling pressure, discipline, mental process and a whole series of topics related to practicing, playing and living like a champion.

He works tirelessly to continually build processes that better integrate golf, academics and sports science.

Tarun is passionate about teaching, mentoring and the development of the game of golf.
