Sher’s stunning victory opened the floodgates for a new breed of talented golfers and he was honoured with many club memberships including honorary membership of the Delhi Golf Club.
While his visit at JTGC, Sher interacted with  Manav Gupta, Secretary, JTGC and other reputed golfers and his tips and guidance regarding golfing were admired by budding golfers of J&K State.
