There are many things achieveable in life, but hitting a hole in one is something feat that even some of the top ranked professional players in the world have never achieved in their career, but it became a reality for veteran lady player Silvia Kampa at the par three 12^th hole at Leisure Lodge Golf Club on Friday.

Kampa becomes the seventh golfer to hit a hole-in-one at the par 72 course in South Coast since the club started operating in 1998. She now joins I .Vintar, M. Schviel, R. Sessitsch, R. Wilheil, S. Kumar and M. Kumar in the club’s hall of fame.

She eventualli finished her 18 holes with an impressive score of 38 stable ford points to emerge the guest winner of the “Kenya ICT Board” golf tournament sponsored Communication Commission of Kenya.

“This could be a one time honor in a golfer’s life which has really made me proud today,” said Kampa. canada goose sale canada goose sale

WE FIT THE BILL: Jacob Okello gestures during his interview with Kenya Golf Guide at Royal Nairobi Golf Club.

Veteran golfer and Golf Park’s resident professional Jacob Okello has urged organisers of the annual Tannahill Shield event to consider including Golf Park Club in the competition to give dominants Muthaiga a run for their money.

Muthaiga has always been dominating the tournament and added another Shield to their name recently and Okello reckons that Golf Park is the only club at the moment that can challenge Muthaiga at the event.

“Currently we have six of our players in the top six of the Kenya Golfer of the Year standings, so I believe we should have a stake at next year’s Tannahill Shield, so that we can end Muthaiga’s dominance,” said Jacob Okello.

Okello said Muthaiga would continue dominating the tournament if new competitive clubs were not incorporated into the Easter event. Golf Park players in the GOTY leader board include international David Opati, Joseph Karanja, Tony Omuli, Dennis Saikwa, Kevin Juma and Paul Juma.

Royal’s captain Murwithania Mugambi said the organizers would meet and decide who replaces relegated Windsor Golf and Country Club at next year’s competition.

“We would decide if Railways Golf Club and Golf Park can go through a play off for us to pick the winner for next year’s event or if they can merge and  enter a single team. We have received Golf Parks requests but we first have to know if the board would accept them,” said Mugambi. canada goose sale canada goose sale
