About Rakesh

THE COACH BEHIND THE BRAND

I'm Rakesh Patel, an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) and golf performance specialist, holding a Master's degree in Physiology with a focus on golf biomechanics.

I founded Raksgolf because I saw a gap: golfers of all levels, from weekend players to competitive amateurs, were leaving serious performance on the table due to physical limitations they didn't even know they had.

My approach fuses evidence-based exercise physiology with golf-specific movement science. The result? More distance, better consistency, and a body that can keep playing for decades.

I am a scratch golfer who has competed at the amateur level, representing the Auckland Provincial Senior Men's Team. I don't just understand the demands of the game from a textbook. I've lived them under competitive pressure, and that experience shapes every program I build.

How It Works

THE RAKSGOLF METHOD

01
Zoom Discovery Call
We kick off with a Zoom call to learn about your goals, any injuries, and what equipment you have access to. This shapes everything that follows.
02
Personalised Program Build
I build you a fully personalised golf-specific gym program delivered through a coaching app. It tells you exactly what to do each session — no guesswork.
03
Weekly Progressions
Every week I add new progressions to keep your body adapting. Training phases move from movement quality and stability through to strength, power, and speed.
04
Swing Transfer
Physical gains only matter if they show up on the course. Every exercise is chosen with your swing in mind — bridging the gap between the gym and the fairway.
05
Check-ins & Support
Regular check-ins keep you on track. I'm available for questions, form feedback, and motivation throughout — fully online, wherever you are in the world.

WHAT GOLFERS ARE SAYING

"
After 10 weeks I feel better physically, gained 8 metres off the tee, and I'm hitting more fairways. The exercises are easy to understand and the programme is simple to follow. I'd recommend Raksgolf to anyone who wants to improve their game.
J. Rookes
"
Raksgolf created a great program perfectly matched to my goals. I noticed real improvements in strength, power, mobility and injury prevention — all built around my busy schedule. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve, no matter your ability.
J. Crooks
"
After 8 weeks with Raksgolf, this is the strongest my body has ever been.
K. Patel
"
Swing speed increased from 92mph to 102mph. I was able to swing much faster with much more control — without even trying.
R. Kanji
"
As someone with an autoimmune nerve condition, golf was physically challenging — until I started with Rakesh. Within weeks I was hitting the ball further and getting around the course with more ease. The programming was genuinely tailored to my needs. I couldn't recommend Raksgolf more highly.
B. Coman
"
Rakesh understood the unique challenges of my spinal cord impairment and turned them into strengths. I'm now a stronger, more balanced, more confident athlete — achieving levels of success in disability golf I never thought possible.
A. Woo
"
I've gotten much stronger, I'm hitting the ball further than ever, mobility has increased, and joint pain has reduced significantly. Couldn't be happier.
L. Hathaway
"
Rakesh completely levelled up how I train. Stronger, more mobile, and I actually look forward to every session. Support and accountability were next level — even from overseas. Already locked in for the next 8 weeks.
J. Goosman
"
Switched to an athlete-focused program built for getting leaner, stronger, and faster — and it delivered. Regular check-ins, form guidance, and motivation throughout.
A. Nathan
"
Every workout is personalised with a clear purpose. Big gains in speed, strength, mobility, and consistency. Highly recommend if you're serious about improving.
