Junior Golf Foundation (JGF) plans to introduce regional golf schools in all the six JGF regions across the country.
According to the JGF President Vincent Mukiri, the game plan from 2025 has changed, a need that has made the Foundation to look at a wide base of players away from the national team. "What we will then see in another one or two years, is a national team made up of members from across the regions and not just Nairobi as is the case right now," said Mukiri "The Junior Golf Foundation tournaments are now averaging 140 players per tournament played across the country in a new spike of junior golfers embracing the sport," he added.
Mukiri announced that the Foundation currently has a dedicated pipeline that ensures the numbers are constant in all the tournaments, despite the national junior golf team being in camp all year round and missing some of the events.
In a press statement sent to newsrooms, the JGF President announced that the Foundation's best players are now being trained to feed the national team with players. "We are then seeing our national team members starting to go out there to colleges and follow up collegiate golf," he added.
