Kenya Golf Union joined officials, members, and young golfers at the official launch of the new putting green at the Public Service Club, marking an important milestone in the growth of golf in Kenya.
Speaking at the event, KGU Chairman Chris Kinuthia highlighted the significance of the facility:
“This is more than just the unveiling of a facility; it is a clear demonstration of commitment, vision, and passion for the game of golf.”
The new putting green provides a space where beginners can build confidence, seasoned players can refine their skills, and the wider community can enjoy golf as both a sport and a lifestyle. It aligns with KGU’s mission to promote, nurture, and grow the game of golf across the country, ensuring accessibility and participation at all levels.
The KGU Chairman also thanked parents and guardians for supporting Junior Golf, run by the Junior Golf Foundation. The program allows children aged 21 and below to access golf facilities nationwide for just 1,000 KES per year, creating opportunities for the next generation of golfers.
Looking ahead, the planned chip-and-putt area will host competitions that are recognized internationally, offering a platform to develop talent and encourage participation among juniors and beginners.
“The Kenya Golf Union remains committed to initiatives that deepen the love of the game, encourage participation, and raise standards of golf across Kenya,” said KGU Chairman.
He congratulated everyone involved; club officials, members, partners, parents, and the entire golf community, for bringing this vision to life.
The Public Service Club’s new putting green is now ready to serve as a hub for learning, practice, and enjoyment, shaping the future of golf in Kenya.
