Belinda Wanjiru adjusts her cap, ready to take a shot. She stands with her club high up in the air and eyes on the ball, almost breathless. When the club swings down, it sends the ball flying high across the course at Gold Park, as she follows it, exhaling with delight.

Belinda, 10, represents the new generation of golfers that is now a common feature on golf courses across Kenya: teenagers and minors as young as eight years.
