The first gold medal came in the 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi, where the team of Amit Luthra, Rajiv Mohta, Rishi Narain, and Lakshman Singh finished two strokes ahead of the second-place team from South Korea.

India is a rising force in golf in Asia. The country has a strong junior program and a number of talented players who are competing on the international stage. With continued development, India is well-positioned to win more medals in golf at future Asian Games.
Here is a more detailed look at the three gold medal-winning teams:
The 1982 team was led by Amit Luthra, who finished tied for second in the individual event. The other members of the team were Rajiv Mohta, Rishi Narain, and Lakshman Singh.
