The holiday program features a structured training schedule tailored to different skill levels.

Beginners are introduced to the fundamentals of golf, including grip, stance and swing, while more experienced players focus on refining technique and improving on-course performance.

Sessions also include putting drills, physical conditioning and lessons on golf etiquette.

George Kituku highlighted inclusivity as a key pillar of the initiative, noting that efforts have been made to ensure participation from children of different backgrounds.

We believe talent is everywhere. What matters is creating the opportunity and the right environment for that talent to grow.

Friendly competitions and on-course experiences are also expected to feature prominently in the weeks ahead.
