Over the last 5 years, Kenya has steadfastly grown and made strides in the development of golf and is now being widely recognized as Africa’s premier golf destination. Former First Lady Margaret Kenyatta who is a huge supporter of the sport, while attending the Magical Kenya Ladies Open earlier this year, encouraged more women to take up professional golfing saying the sport presents opportunities just like athletics and other disciplines. “The increased number of women participating this season also demonstrates the potential and opportunity available for more women to join this exciting career,” the First Lady said.
