Having an uncluttered mind around can be of immense help. Rahil Gangjee explains how. When he got back on the Professional Golf Tour of India in September from his career’s longest injury layoff, it was unclear what lay in store.

The yearend was just three months away, and with no tournaments to show, Rahil had to secure his card for 2024 in quick time.

The admission that he was nowhere close to his fluent best at the range or in the comeback event at Hyderabad made the going tougher. It was natural to be gripped by frustration but having companion Ruhi Akram on the bag has been a huge plus.
Coming in without the baggage that comes with playing the sport, Ruhi has been a calming influence. A template has taken shape where on-course conversations ooze positivity and steer clear of what’s transpiring on the day.
The effects have been amazing as since the shaky start in Hyderabad, Rahil has secured his card comfortably in seven starts, which include four top-10s.
He has a chance to sign off on a high, and is hoping that solid golf and Ruhi’s reassurance will be the potion for success at the Tour Championship in Jamshedpur.
