The Club is a member of the Kenya Golf Union (K.G.U) and the Kenya Ladies Golf Union (K.L.G.U) and supports golf activities through its affiliations with these unions.

First came the Nairobi Golf Club, started as a nine-hole course in 1906. It was given the Royal prefix by King George V and is now an expansive 18-hole course. Up country courses soon followed, with Nyeri leading the way in 1910.The Indian Ocean coast was also a promising golfing region, and the Mombasa Golf Club dates back to 1911.

Not far behind was the primitive Kisii course (1914) in the Western Rift Valley/Lake Victoria region, although the pick of the club names in that part is surely the enticing Nandi Bears Club, formed by tea farmers in 1928. Happily, the golf tourism industry in Kenya flourishes and visitors are treated to some enchanting golf in wonderful locations.

Our first pick of the week is this great talented Spanish player. Last week’s performance can only be an added bonus for the team and myself this week.

We have watched this player a lot of when we were based in China for the 2019 season and there was plenty to be excited about. He picked up a win on the Alps Tour he then came close at the 57 Open de Portugal in 2019 finishing as a runner up that week.

He has bundles of talent and will be a winner on the European Tour within the next couple of years I am sure of it. His Friday round at the Kenya Open could well have been a 65 he missed so many putts inside ten feet if he had done that he would have made it a playoff against Harding.

But to close with a 63 it only backs up my faith in him this week. Should be another solid week and at this price I am all over it.

I know he has been playing well lately but I have not really felt like playing him until now.

If you take the Saudi first round poor and then the Qatar Masters third round another poor greens in regulation followed by an average display on the greens. Last week we saw everything coming together nicely he pitched in with all four rounds in the sixties and a good overall tee to green game followed with a good week on the greens.   

We all know he is a class player and will only be a matter of time before he picks up another European Tour win.

This could be his best chance to win since his great performance at the South African Open only getting beating by Bezuidenhout who was on another planet that week and beating the field by five strokes.

Watch this space? The win is not far away and could be breaking back into the world’s top 100.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″]

If you’re after value this week then Santos has to be your man, at 200/1 and in some places as high as 250/1.  

You might be surprised to know he has already won on the European Tour at the Madeira Islands Open in Portugal way back in 2012. Since then he has been a very steady contender every year and makes a far bit of cash for himself.     

He is slowly improving his overall game this year and has made two cuts from two starts.  So it might be a big ask for him to win but he is worth a top twenty bet 7/1 or even a top ten bet 18/1.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″]

Higgo’s last three events has been eleventh at the Kit Kat on the African Tour then followed that with a tied nineteenth in Qatar and then a tied sixteenth at the Kenya Open last week.

So he is a player on form and see no reason why this will not carry on this week on pretty much the same course set up and pin locations.  We got intruded to Garrick at the DP World Tour he seemed so upbeat about this season and is really looking forward to playing more European golf as well as getting keeping inside the world’s top one hundred players. He has just drifted out to 108TH in the world rankings so will be pushing it this week to get a great result and improve.

The bookies are also aware of his talent hence the lower odds this week so watch this space.

Lots of Americans to pick from this week and of course Kitayama leading the betting and for good reason but we like the look of Veerman this week. He had a poor Sunday to still manage to hang on to a top twenty place.

For those of you that have followed us for a while, we backed him at the British Masters 2020 at 125/1 and he managed a good 17^TH place finish that week.   

So he owes us a better result and the whole team are behind him this week to get his first European Tour title under his belt.

Our close friend Pops was on his bag back in Thailand back in 2018 where he was so close to the magical 59 carding a 62 at the Queens Cup.

He can go low so expecting a fast start from the yank.

The Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″]

The Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship is a golf tournament in the Dominican Republic on the PGA Tour, formerly on the Web.com Tour. It was first played in 2016 at the Corales Golf Club in Punta Cana, on the east coast in the La Altagracia province. 

After two years as a Web.com Tour event, it transitioned to a PGA Tour alternate event (opposite the WGC Match Play in Texas), starting in March 2018. The first PGA Tour event held in the Dominican Republic, it is similar in rewards to other alternate events: 300 FedEx Cup points for the winner, a two-year tour exemption, 24 OWGR points, but no invitation to the Masters Tournament.

The inaugural event in 2016 was held in early June, then moved to early May in 2017.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 tournament was postponed until September when it will be part of the 2020–21 PGA Tour season. It was also elevated to full FedEx Cup point event status, with the winner earning a 2021 Masters Tournament invitation.

Designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 2010, Corales is an exclusive and dramatic 18-hole course with six Caribbean Oceanside holes. Designed along the natural cliffs, bays, ocean coves and the inland lakes and coralina quarries, Corales Golf Course rates among the World’s finest Golf Experiences.

The exhilarating challenge culminates playing the Devil’s Elbow, Corales’s last three holes. The Devil’s Elbow features the striking eighteenth hole with a dramatic forced carry over the cliff lined Bay of Corales, an inspired capstone to a memorable and breathtaking golf experience.

One of the favourites tee‘s it up this week against a weaker field compared to what he is used to playing against.  

This boy is on “FIRE” he secured a top ten at the Omega Dubai, then a solid tied twenty eighth spot at the WGC Workday and then his last event on the European Tour was the Qatar Masters where again he had a great week to finish in a tie for ninth place.

This resort type course is just shouting out for Detry to go so low around here every day, the fact the wind will be getting up and a lot of knockdown shots will be required its another positive he loves links type set ups and coastal venues so this really could be his greatest chance to pick up that win he wants so badly in the US.

Looking for a strong week here.

So the last time I backed Hoffman was at the Valero Texas Open back in April 2019 he was a very big price and he ended up in second place that week. I am expecting a win from him this year.

This year has been productive and the results have shown this. Seventh place at the AT&T was the stand out result for me choosing him for this venue and tournament. It will be very similar to the conditions faced that week and shot types will also be a factor.

He has defo found something within his game in 2021 to now compete at the higher level again and coming back to a course his game will fit I can see a lot of good vibes.

Banker for the week for the team. He will and should get us a good return here.

He is made for resort type set ups and this has been proven over and over again.

Positives for Grillo this week:

• Fazio Positive skill set
• Driving Accuracy
• GIR
• SG Putting
• Wind and coastal courses

As you can see plenty to see why the team have picked out. We have been out in practice with him and he went eight birdies on the spin, ok playing a couple of balls but still he looked a danger man.

Lots to like and looking for a very good show from him.

Austin Country Club is a private golf club in the southern United States, located in Austin, Texas. Established 122 years ago in 1899, the club moved to its third and present site in 1984, a challenging layout designed by noted course architect Pete Dye.

The present Davenport Ranch site is west of central Austin on the south bank of the Colorado River (Lake Austin), just southeast of the Pennybacker Bridge. Following a renovation in 2015, it has hosted the WGC Match Play championship since 2016.

I have gone for one value pick from Pool A, two picks from Pool B and then a further two picks from Pool C.

As with most of my matchplay events I have just given yoi the players names this week as I feel with these typpes of events it is sometimes pretty much a lottery on who turns up in the group stages and carries on that form.

For those of you that remember I tipped Kevin Kisner back in 2019, which was the last time the event was played at 80/1 so plenty of chances for the bigger prices here this week.
