Anyone watching this week's LET event being played in Kenya? No blinding white sand bunkers there. ;)

The ethos of golf in Kenya is right on - between the British tradition that started golf there and their national passion of distance running, golf is all about the outdoors and nearly everyone walks.


It’s a shame they don’t have better golf courses.  Which course is being played for the event?

Enjoyed watching this on the TV. Loved the firm and bouncy conditions, the somewhat scruffy and bare and old style areas off the fairways, and the way a wayward shots would bounce and run sideways. Noticeably different grass to what we usually see as well. And the wildlife strolling across the fairways.

I enjoyed watching as well. Longest uninterrupted viewing of a non-major for me in quite a while. Thought the course looked interesting with the ground movement, wind and firmness.

The lady in the crowd walking with her water bottle balanced on her head was something I don’t see every day.
