KAREN MASTERS DISMAS INDIZA CLUB: MUMIAS SUGAR TOURNAMENT SCORE: -4 I know much was expected from me but I am contented with the way I played. I have not performed well at Karen over the last year having missed the cut at the last two Kenya Open events. I had set myself a modest target of -10 for this year’s KCB Karen Masters. Unfortunately things did not go as per the script. I was let down by poor putting since I failed to master the greens well. The greens were extremely fast especially on the last two days. Karen is an easy, though tricky course that calls for meticulous game management. The Sunshine tour will no doubt help us improve our game. This is only the second time the event has been held in Kenya and you can already see our local pros are upping their game. I can assure you the game is headed for good times especially with the heightening interest from local corporates. All the local pros who had sponsors performed relatively well at the Karen Masters. There’s not so much difference between our local pros and our South Africa counterparts. I can assure you it will not take long before our guys win the Karen Masters tournament. I have been on the scene for too long and I would now like to pass the baton to the young players. Having turned 50 years old this year, my focus now is to get on to the Seniors Tour.
