Bhavi Shah, one of the only two Kenyan women golf players, swings a club at a speed of 105 miles per hour.
Kenya only has two women, professional golfers, Bhavi and Rose Naliaka, who has taken a break from professional golf having hit the balls since September 1980.
One of the biggest moments of her golf life came in December last year when she shared a course with international players at Vipingo Ridge’s Magical Kenya Ladies Open, the first-ever Ladies European Tour tournament in Kenya and East Africa.
As a junior and an amateur, I won many club tournaments,” says Bhavi, who was the pioneer lady professional golfer to play at the Safari Tour series.
