My Story

Hey, I’m Nikki. Kodagu is in my blood, #childrenofcauveramma and all that. My heart beats for our land, our people. Coorg Wellness Foundation’s Barefoot Marathon? That’s my jam—running barefoot, feeling the mud, building real community. What really grounds me? Coaching golf to visually impaired kids with Enable India. Watching their joy, it’s pure magic. Reminds me, body is all we truly own. Take care, ask for help, stay humble.

My Work

Golf Coaching for Everyone - I coach golf for all ages and abilities, from kids to pros, even corporate teams.

Traditional Indian Golf Fitness - I blend Mugdar and Gada training with golf to boost strength, balance, and your swing.

Golf for the Visually Impaired - I run clinics making golf accessible for people who are blind or deaf. Sport is for all.

Golf Team Building - Fun, custom team building sessions using golf as the glue. Perfect for groups and companies.
