Premier Academy win Lisle Shaw Inter School Golf tournament

Impressive scores from handicap 4 Tsevi Soni, Aarush Vara, Yuvraj Rajput and handicap 6 Ishan Samani helped Premier Academy dominate the Lisle Shaw Inter School golf tournament played at the Royal Golf Club in Nairobi.

Tsevi Soni’s 78 gross points was the second-best individual score of the day that helped Premier Academy collect 239 gross points, 8 points clear of second-placed Rosslyn Academy. Aaarush Vara scored 79 points, Yuvraj Rajput 82 points and Ishan Samani 83 points.

For Rosslyn Academy, Audrey Gachora scored 81 points, Jelani Kihanya 82 points, Nehemiah Dinkins 84 points, and Hazel Kuria 93 points for a total of 247 gross points.

“The first nine I wasn’t really hitting the balls to the right direction, and I had to keep on chipping and my putts weren’t going the way I wanted them to. Competition is now good because we are now playing with handicap and we are playing from the ladies’ and men’s tees. So we are being pushed back a little bit,” observed Audrey Gachora.

Finishing third at the tournament was the team from home education. Junaid Manji playing off handicap two was impressive with 79 gross points followed by handicap 10 Kanana Muthomi with 84 points, handicap 9 Kriss Vagdama with 86 points and handicap 3 Mintash Thacker with 91 points. They scored 249 gross points, two points off the second-placed Rosslyn Academy.
