New Zealand based golfer Neelkash Ram has confirmed his place in the golf team for the Pacific Games to Samoa alongside Roneel Prakash and Amitash Chandra.

Fiji Golf Secretary Mosese Waqavonovono said Ram's inclusion in the side is an added bonus as he has a lot of experience and is confident that this team will lift the bar in Apia.

The team spends most of their time training on the course at Pacific Harbour which Waqavonovono claims to be similar to that in Samoa.

Waqavonovono adds that Neelkash though doing his own training in New Zealand's top courses, is very positive that the team will be able to grab a gold medal in both the team and individual competition.

The Pacific Games begins on August 25 in Apia.
