Lessons golf players have learnt from Covid-19 crisis

What you need to know:

  • Another leading pro Erick Ooko, also based at Golf Park, said Covid-19 changed all his plans.
  • "We have been suffering a lot since March. Before coronavirus emerged, my swing was great. All the same, I have continued practicing at Golf Park since March. We have been observing social distancing. I’m practicing because I want to maintain my swing just in case things get better,” Ooko, one of the eight Kenyans pros who had qualified for the Magical Kenya Open, said.

The Covid-19 pandemic which forced the postponement of international sporting activities has handed a big lesson to some Kenyan professional golfers.

Golf Park-based pro David Wakhu said coronavirus has taught him to not only prepare for an eventuality like old age but also for a situation which may put him out of active playing.
