Ekm teens become first Keralites to play in Minigolf World Championship
The New Indian Express Kozhikode
|August 20, 2025
WALKING out onto the greens at the Neheim-Husten golf course in Arnsberg, Germany, teenagers Aaron D'Silva and Paul J Ponmattam on Tuesday etched their names in history as the first-ever Keralites to compete in the Minigolf World Championships.
"It's really amazing I have been selected for this," Aaron, 17, told TNIE, sharing his excitement ahead of the competition.
Having started golfing at the tender age of eight, this mini superstar has slowly worked his way up, winning several accolades at the state and national levels.
"My father works with CIAL (Cochin International Airport Limited) and he used to take me to the golf course there. It is there that I picked up the passion for golfing," said Aaron, a student of Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2 in Kataribagh, Kochi.
