In country as television expert for India versus West Indies T20 series, Lara took some time out to try a few holes at picturesque Delhi Golf Club where he was also unveiled as brand ambassador of Usha group.
Asked about how he found course at DGC, Lara said: "It's beautiful. But a bit narrow for me though. But I must say, it was a nice opportunity to meet members at Delhi Golf Club. It's a nice community."
Lara, who has a handicap of eight, was all praise for talented youngsters who teed off with him on day.
"My handicap is eight and it's getting better and is going on right direction," he laughed.
"I have seen some amazing young talent over here. I played with four youngsters and I strongly believe y will be future of Indian golf."
For Lara, Ricky Ponting is a stand-out golfer among cricketers, while Indian legend Kapil Dev is more than a decent golfer.
"Kapil Dev has been very special. Ricky Ponting is an amazing golfer and I haven't played with Greg Blewett but heard he is also a champion golfer," former West Indies captain said.
He also spoke about his association with brand.
"I feel very humbled and happy that Usha has asked me to be ir brand ambassador. legacy y have created, I feel re is some synergy between myself and brand. I look forward to association as y have done a lot for company in terms of product but also in terms of charity, which is important for me.
