Donât want to fight, I just want to focus on my golf, says Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan insists that he is looking to bury the hatchet with the officials at the Delhi Golf Course and is looking forward to just give complete attention to his golf career. The golfer was issued a ban from playing at the DGC after getting involved in a scuffle with one of the on-duty guards.
Indian golfer Rashid Khan met with Delhi Golf Course (DGC) committee member Amit Luthra on Friday and submitted a letter, which included the formerâs terms and conditions to reinstate playing rights at the prestigious course. Rashid, who has been banned by the DGC along with a group of golfers since last January, revealed that he is ready to take back the court case, withdraw the police complaint and also call a joint press conference to put the whole issue behind him.
âI want to focus on my golf and not waste my time fighting. I just want my playing rights to be restored and I am ready to apologise and chalk out a compromise. I have submitted a letter to Mr Amit Luthra. He suggested a few things which we will include and then sign it in front of the committee. So hoping there will be a meeting at the earliest to solve the issue.
âIt is not only about me, it is also about the others who have also been banned by DGC. So, I am ready to take back my police complaint and also withdraw the court case and have a joint press conference,â Rashid said as per PTI sources.
Rashid, a two-time Asian Tour winner, added that he was never interested in DGC membership and one of the reasons that he was handed a ban was the fact that he got into a scuffle with an on-duty guard.
âI never wanted to be a member, I just want to play. I just want that they should give us in writing that we will be allowed to play at DGC. It shouldnât happen that after two years, again we are stopped and we have to fight for it. Even if you donât want a compromise, give us a letter saying that we have been banned. I am looking for a permanent solution.
âEven the scuffle with the guard, it was he who first slapped me. I didnât start it. He later apologised so I didnât file any complaint against him but if still you feel I am wrong then check the CCTV footage of that area, it will make things clear,â Khan added.
