Haki Sehmi is the winner of the annual KenGen Golf Day played at the Sigona Golf Club over the weekend. The handicap-11 golfer, was on top form posting scores of 19 stable ford points on the opening nine ad 21 points on the closing nine for a total of 40 points.

Sehmi opened his scoring with back to back pars through the first four holes, before dropping a shot on the long par-three fifth and another on the dogleg left seventh, the toughest hole on the golf course.

On the closing nine, Sehmi upped his game, dropping just two strokes on the par-3 11th, which now boasts a beautiful water feature to the front and to the right of the undulating green.

Speaking after his round, Sehmi said his swing was now back. “I have had some swing problems in the last few weeks, but now I am hitting the ball better and hence my score,” Sehmi said. “I hope I will be able to defend this victory next year.”

Speaking at the prize giving ceremony, KenGen CEO Eddy Njoroge said that sports was a deliberate agenda at KenGen. “Unfortunately, at KenGen we cannot sample our product to our clients! Nevertheless, these kind of sports sponsorships allow us to interact with our clients and they give us an opportunity to give back to the community that works with us, that consumes our product,” Njoroge commented. “KenGen is making every effort to produce energy more efficiently and in a manner that is friendly to the environment.”

Bhachu Singh, playing off handicap-15 was the day’s runner up with 39 points. Singh returned scores of 19 and 20 stable ford points to lose out by a single stroke.
