Akshay continued from his excellent early season form in Kenya, when he spent 5 weeks in the UK for intensive coaching & playing on the GM Junior Golf Tour, once he acclimatised to the very different weather & the developments Graham added with the coaching , he once again got in the groove & began to show his true talent, having started from the junior tees he was upgraded to an older age group & played the majority of the GM Tournaments from the 11-12 year old tees ( host course red) “The first couple of events were very indifferent for Akshay, as he had to deal with the UK weather, a change from the Kenyan weather he is used too, coupled with the developments / changes I had added, but as you can see stated above he was upgraded due to his ability to an older age division, with this his confidence grew and with the developments I advised now becoming more in place he started to return the scores applicable to a single figure golfer and on one occassion a category 1 player !! Akshay's natural ability is second to none and as with all My development programme pupils I have regular contact by e-mail, u-tube or video media links to ensure that I provide an all year round coaching advice & development package / facility where ever they may be located around the world I see Akshay in person 2-3 times a year & the improvement I have seen in him is living proof that My long distance coaching programmes work well”

The event hosted by Virgin Atlantic was played over Karen is a very tight course, well-manicured, which needs precision placed tee shots & accurate shots to the green to be a close as possible to the hole on fast & undulating greens Akshay still managed to score 39 points, 21 were scored on the first nine holes with 18 on the back nine It was his first time playing the course which is a past venue of the Kenyan Open, he missed only 2 fairways & these by only a yard or so, but with excellent short game skills he out shadowed the older juniors who hit the ball longer “I am really pleased for Akshay, his swing is now really consistent & |
