Lady Captain’s Golf Tournament brings over 200 golfers to Kakamega Sports Club this weekend in a colourful 4-day celebration of sport and youth innovation.
The 4-day event, held in honour of Lady Captain Beatrice Otieno, is one of the biggest golf gatherings in Western Kenya, drawing players from across the country from elite amateurs to junior talent and corporate guests.
“This isn’t just about golf. It’s about friendship, growth, and the future of the game in our region,” said Lady Captain Beatrice. “We’re excited and grateful for the support.”
The main 18-hole stroke play kicks off early Saturday, with participants battling it out in men’s, ladies’, juniors’, and guest categories.
While there are prizes at stake, the weekend promises more than just competition expect a warm atmosphere, pristine greens, and a lively prize-giving gala with music, food, and fun.
But the action doesn’t stop there.
The week begins with a club night on Wednesday, a Caddies Tournament on Friday with over 100 participants, and a tennis tournament on Saturday. Sunday is all about the kids, with 80+ juniors showcasing their talent in a junior golf competition.
A pool tournament also runs alongside, bringing a relaxed close to the fun-packed weekend.
A standout moment will be the official launch of the Tindi app, a youth-built innovation that blends entertainment and technology.
Created by 19-year-old Emmanuel Okola Opati, Tindi is being hailed as the “Sherehe app” rewarding users for being social.
Whether you’re out at an event or sharing a moment with friends, you earn Tindi Points, which can be redeemed for real perks like free tickets, discounts, or VIP access.
“Tindi is about celebrating African youth and helping them earn from their creativity,” said Emmanuel. “It’s social media, but better it pays you back.”
Backed by a team of young developers and event lovers, Tindi is already turning heads in Kenya’s growing digital and entertainment space.
Club officials applauded Lady Captain Beatrice for her leadership, saying this year’s Lady Captain’s Tournament will be remembered not just for the golf but for blending sport, tech, and youth empowerment into one unforgettable weekend.
