NAIROBI, Kenya-
Windsor resident professional Rizwan Charania has been keeping track of his
swing changes from his foreign-based coach ahead of his 2019 KCB Karen Masters
campaign.
Charania, a former
Professional Golfers of Kenya (PGK) Chairman, is using video technology to
improve some aspects of his swing that should come in handy in the third
edition of the Sunshine Tour sanctioned event.
"I’m
constantly trying to improve on my swing and I realise it is closer to where I
want it to be. I’m also working on my fitness which I believe will be of help
during the Karen Masters,” Charania stated.
Peter Tupling who is
based in the UK has been imparting valuable experience to Charania with online
video corrections on how better his short and long game.

"We rarely meet
but exchange ideas online. From here we work via video feed and he imparts lots
of skills.
“I see him a couple
of times a year, either I go there or he comes here. He has been my mentor for
over 10 years and I'm very appreciative," Charania said.
Charania who won the
last round of the Safari Tour went on, "I just want to play well.
I’m not putting any pressure on myself but just to trust the changes and see
how it holds up under pressure."
Like the world
beating YouTube athlete Julius Yego, Charania believes online videos are taking
his game to the next level.
" Yes, it’s
been a very important aspect of my improvements as a teaching pro as well as a
player. Go golf is a different golf IT venture where we have created a virtual
membership for golfers to enjoy flexibility and choice.

“We have
partnered with 5 clubs and offer great rated to play. I run the Go Golf with my
brother. Go Golf ran a simulator setup at the Magical Kenya Open where
onlookers and club members savored the rare opportunity to practice their range
skills on a computerised system,” he underlined.
The system shows the
critical information from club speed to launch angles to spin rates. A great
tool to fit clubs and also to understand your ball flights and distances with
different clubs.
"In this day
and age you cannot shy away from technology, instead embrace it and this is one
of the tactics I'm using to bolster my game and my business option,” Charania
concluded.
