Jacintah said, “My partner was driving the ball very well and I was hitting the second shots, while the putting good. We had very good company. Our four ball was just amazing, so we just decided to enjoy ourselves. It was a bit slow on some holes, otherwise it was a beautiful day, graced by beautiful weather for what was a beautiful event.”
Rose said, “We had a good day together with Jacintah and played very well. At the beginning, we just spotted each other’s strengths and complemented one another very well. The day started off chilly and then it brightened up and then we had a good day. Personally, when I came in today, I just came in to have fun and then scores showed up.”
Finishing in second place was Karen Country Club’s Kabura Kamau who combined with Limuru Golf Club’s Agnes Nyambura for a total of 41 points, one ahead of Karen’s Nekoye Inzaule and Royal Golf Club’s Cherotich Murgor who finished in third after countback with 40 points.

The annual event brought together over 200 lady golfers who were drawn to play in a green some format that saw home players paired with guest players over 18 holes.
Karen Country Club Lady Captain, Betty Gacheru, said, “The 2024 Karen Ladies Invitation was a great success. We had a field of 214 ladies playing today and they all came out looking beautiful. The winners played an amazing score I think that is a course record. They did not know each other before today and they combined to play an amazing score of 48 points which is good. Moving forward the Club can expect more colorful events from the lady captain this year we want to get back to the theme of ‘we are Karen’ where we keep it simple and very classy.”
