If you visit any of Kenya’s golf courses at the weekend, you’ll see familiar faces from boardrooms and C-suites striding across the fairways. These are men and women who have built companies, closed billion-shilling deals and steered industries. Yet many of them fall into avoidable traps when they pick up a club, which keeps their handicaps high.
Professional golfer Simon Njogu, who is currently competing in the Professional Golfers Kenya (PGK) Equator Golf Tour, says that this paradox is no coincidence; it mirrors the very mindset that drives success in business. The only difference is that, unlike in business, money can’t buy better scores in golf.
