Rose Naliaka, the first female professional golfer in Kenya and owner of the Naliaka Golf Academy, follows the progress of her shot on February 19, 2019.
Naliaka attributes her success to focusing on her abilities and playing against the course rather than her competitors.
“The biggest mistake I made was stopping golf for nearly 20 years while I ran the Children’s Golf Programme. Now, I’m struggling with the short game, but I know it will come,” she added.
Legendary golfer Rose Naliaka continues to make waves in the golfing world just months shy of her 71st birthday.
Over the weekend, she claimed the gross title at the Nyali Golf and Country Club Chairman’s Prize in Mombasa, beating a field of 252 players with an impressive six-over-par 77.
