Telecommunication company Safaricom has provided a full sponsorship to four women for the Pro-Am tournament.
These four golfers, Margaret Njoki and Aisha Duba from Golf Park in the senior category, and Vivian Adhiambo and Ekron Odhiambo possess great talent in the sport but unfortunately lack the financial means to participate in such a prestigious tournament on their own.
They were nominated by their respective foundations, namely the Junior Golf Foundation and the Kenya Ladies Golf Union. The Magical Kenya Ladies Open Pro-Am platform provided these players with the chance to interact with and learn new skills from international professional golfers.
"I am immensely grateful to Safaricom for providing me with the opportunity to participate in this year's Magical Kenya Ladies Open. It was my first time playing in the Pro-Am event at the tournament, and the experience was truly remarkable. I learned a lot from the professionals I played alongside. One of the key takeaways for me was mastering the technique of rolling the ball far from the bunker," one of the ladies, Aisha Duba stated.
