  Odisha girl Kashika becomes India No 1 amateur female golfer
23 May 2025
 

Odisha girl Kashika Misra created a history as she became the first ever golfer of the state to secure the No 1 position among the amateur women golfers in India. The Delhi-based Odisha golfer moved up from fourth to top position with a lead of 16 points after finishing runner-up in the IGU West Bengal Ladies and Junior Girls Golf Championship, held at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club from 13 to 16 May 2025.

In the amateur golf rankings of India only one more player from Odisha, Manvi Singhania is at 36th position among the ladies while no male golfer figures in the list.

Kashika was part of the Indian team that participated in the Womens Amateur Asia-Pacific Championship, held in Danang, Vietnam from 6 to 9 March 2025. She will be representing India in the Asia Pacific Golf Confederation Championship to be held in Hong Kong in the last week of May 2025.

 

Kashika just completed her Class XII at the Shri Ram School, Gurugram and she will shortly be joining a University in USA for her golfing and higher studies. Having picked up golf only five years ago and securing a World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) in May 2023 her performance has been consistent over the last year, enabling her to move up in the amateur rankings.

Kashika had the privilege of meeting the President of India Draupadi Murmu at the Rashtrapati Bhawan on 22 May 2025. She says the meeting with the President of the country has motivated her to work even harder and achieve more laurels on the international stage.

Kashika attributes her success to her coach Anitya Chand, guidance of her parents, Kiran Mishra and Brigadier Tapas Mishra, support of the Bhubaneswar and Delhi Golf Clubs, Government of Odisha and MGM Minerals Ltd.
