Alfred Kariuki will be the new Kenya Golf Union (KGU) chairman today after the Union’s Annual General Meeting that is expected to follow the annual KGU Chairman’s Trophy at the Muthaiga Golf Club.

Kariuki who will be taking over the job from Nairobi lawyer and businessman Mwaniki Gachoka has already lined up a series of development ideas meant to help the growth of the sport, top in the line being the development of junior golf in the country.

“We want to recruit more juniors from seasoned golfers and schools to ensure a better future for the sport, because the juniors are the back bone of Kenyan golf,” said Kariuki.

He added: “We are going to decentralize the Junior Golf Foundation (JGF) into zones in order to have centres all over the country, in Kisumu, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nairobi and many more to tap talent.”

Kariuki said there was too much talent in the country that was going unnoticed and that if it was tapped it would turn the country into a golfing giant.

A close source said Kariuki had already planned to form a board to work on the developing of a public course at Kasarani to enable KGU to tap talent from youngsters living in the surroundings. michael kors bolsos michael kors bolsos
