But we have come to ascertain that he is really distracted by people who walk in around him or people trying to communicate with him; and you see with this kind of competition the people who want to congratulate him revolve around his space and that definitely puts him off on sundry occasions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMakokha has been in fine form. But he had two or three bad holes yesterday which saw the Kenya Matchplay Champion come out in 8th position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0885.jpg-Coach-Vincent-Wangombe-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0885.jpg-Coach-Vincent-Wangombe-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-313314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0885.jpg-Coach-Vincent-Wangombe-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0885.jpg-Coach-Vincent-Wangombe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0885.jpg-Coach-Vincent-Wangombe-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0885.jpg-Coach-Vincent-Wangombe-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0885.jpg-Coach-Vincent-Wangombe-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>National Deaf golf coach Vincent Wang&#8217;ombe at the Caxias do Sul golf course.

But one of the things we can do is to try and block out one of the things that happen around him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd I guess because of his hearing impairment, his other senses are heightened especially his sight -more so when people move in his peripheral vision, he actually notices and that distracts him easily.

It was very cold in the morning yesterday, and in fact, I think that\u2019s one of the reasons that led to Wario\u2019s injury. When we were starting off it was a bit misty. The players were a bit stiff. They are not used to this cold weather. But when it warmed up, we saw Isaac especially beginning to play better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith Gilbert, he\u2019s still not very experienced in competition and not doing as well as we expected him to; but we had a good chat and he\u2019s optimistic and all I have told him is that he needs to raise the bar higher and be in the top 16.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gilbert is now lying 20th but Coach Wang\u2019ombe believes its possible for him to get to the top 16 and savor a chance play in the last round of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0867.jpg-Adan-Wario-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0867.jpg-Adan-Wario-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-313315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0867.jpg-Adan-Wario-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0867.jpg-Adan-Wario-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0867.jpg-Adan-Wario-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0867.jpg-Adan-Wario-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/05\/GLFJM_0867.jpg-Adan-Wario-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Adan Wario pulled out of the competition after picking a hand injury<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>-Alex Isaboke is reporting from Caxias do Sul, Brazil-<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAXIAS do Sul, Brazil, May 9 &#8211; Kenya\u2019s Deaflympics Golf Coach Vincent Wang\u2019ombe believes Isaac Makohkha can perform extremely well if he&#8217;s able replenish his concentration levels on the course.
