On December 9, 2019, the Ladies European Tour (LET) players made a generous donation to support the development of golf in Kenya. The equipment, including clubs, gloves, and balls, was presented to representatives of the Junior Golf Foundation (JGF), the Kenya Ladies Golf Union, and the Vipingo Village Fund Golf Academy.
The donation was made by LET player Lynn Carlsson, who was inspired by the enthusiasm of the young golfers. Carlsson said, 'The players did this to be an inspiration to the young golfers. I have been very glad to show up here and interact and talk to them - seeing them has been really nice. I am happy to be a part of this and hope that this equipment will be very useful to them.'
LET Tournament Director Michael Wood added that the initiative was meant to motivate young players not to give up their dream of playing golf and to ensure that more Kenyan golfers participate in tournaments in the future.
The Junior Golf Foundation (JGF) was established by the Kenya Golf Union and the Kenya Ladies Golf Union to promote junior golf development and participation for boys and girls from the ages of five to 21 in Kenya.
