Golf Show: You can now tee off with celebs for as little as Sh10,000 a year!

Monday Blues

Forget the old notion that golf is all about the ?lthy rich and well-connected in society.

Come tomorrow, a new golf tournament will be launched, and in it will be your favourite celebrities, businessmen and young entrepreneurs. This will be the start of a new story with a happy ending! The new guys in town want to bring to town an affordable golf game that will see ordinary Kenyans, as well as musicians, actors, producers and club owners, get involved in a tournament that has already attracted international artistes.

“The truth is that many young Kenyans think of golf as a game for people who have already made it. But golf is a game for us all. It is a mind-involving networking opportunity, it is an avenue to reach everyone. That is why we must get this started,” said Moses, who is in charge of the new golf show.

“We are bringing in young entrepreneurs to enjoy the game. We also have the entertainment industry involved,” he continued. The event, to be ?agged off on the new Cosmopolitan TV, will feature Wyre, Nameless, Brenda Wairimu, Amani, Ogopa Deejays, Kenzo, Trapee, Avril and Moustapha, among others.

“Normally, registering for a golf season costs more than Sh70,000. We are making golf affordable by providing equipment, skills and network. Young Kenyans will be able to access gol?ng facilities for as little as Sh10,000 a year,” Moses said.

The new tournament comes only a year after South Africa used popular music group Ma?kizolo to advertise for an all-inclusive golf programme that factors in the needs of children and women in society.
