Published on August 30, 2019, the Safari Tour has been at the forefront of promoting golf in Kenya, and its latest season has seen a significant increase in the number of ladies participating in the tournament.
Among the newcomers to the Safari Tour was 13-year-old Andrew Wahome, who played off a handicap of five and impressed with his second round score of 75 strokes, which was one stroke better than the average score by professionals on that day.
Wahome's exposure to playing with top golfers in the country will undoubtedly help him improve his skills, and his confidence was evident when he announced his intention to turn professional one day.
Another notable entry to the Nyali round of the Safari Tour was Bhavi Shah, a professional lady golfer who walked in with confidence and announced her presence to the Safari Tour.
Shah's participation marked a significant milestone for ladies in golf in Kenya, and her presence will undoubtedly inspire other talented female golfers to follow in her footsteps.
The Safari Tour's commitment to developing golf in Kenya, particularly among ladies, is a welcome development, and it is hoped that this trend will continue in the future.
