Ben Omuodo follows the progress of his tee shot from the 10th tee during GEC Open Kenya 2016 in partnership with Sports Connect Africa on September 30, 2016 at Windsor Golf and Country Club.
Omuodo who has been serving as the vice chairman since May 2019, will officially take over the KGU chairmanship from Karen Country Club’s Anthony Murage
One of the “millennium’’ golfers, Omuodo started playing golf in the year 2000 thanks to NCBA chairman Isaac Awuondo who not only encouraged Omuodo to play golf but also gave him his first golf set
Because of his leadership quality, the club forwarded his name to the KGU for an executive committee member of the union, a position he served for two years before becoming the secretary in the 2017/2018 season
Starting first as a junior golf convenor at his home club of Royal Nairobi Golf Club, six years after joining the club, Ben Omuodo, is finally taking over leadership of Kenya’s amateur golf body, the Kenya Golf Union (KGU) on Friday at Muthaiga Golf Club.
The 62-year-old Omuodo who is also a member of other clubs like Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club, Machakos Golf Club, and Nyanza Golf Club in Kisumu, is one of the officials who were nominated for the various positions in the Union unopposed during the nomination deadline on March 31.
