Naomi Wafula

❤️‍🔥 The Maasai have a beautiful relationship with red color which is traditionally associated with bravery, strength, unity and life. So today I thought… why not? 😌

But am not maasai, I’m Luhya. More specifically, Bukusu. One of the many beautiful communities that make up the Luhya people of Western Kenya.

Wafula means, born during the rainy season🌧️❤️🇰🇪

Last year, in July 2025, I turned professional, becoming the first female professional under the Professional Golfers of Kenya. 🏌🏽‍♀️

Last Thursday, I teed it up with the men in Nakuru for the PGK Equator Tour, marking my 31st professional event since turning pro.

From July to December 2025, I played 1 international event and 11 local events.

In 2026 so far, I’ve played 6 international events and 13 local events.

That’s 31 professional events in just over a year. 🌍⛳️

Looking back, I’m so excited about this journey. There have been lessons, challenges, setbacks, growth, and moments that have pushed me way outside my comfort zone.

But I remind myself, it’s not meant to be easy.

Easy is boring. 😉

I’m grateful for every opportunity to compete, every course I get to play, every lesson I learn, and every person who walks with me. ❤️⛳️

It was such an honor to receive this special award from Anne Joy Michira, Group Marketing and Innovations Director at EABL. ❤️

You belong. Keep believing in yourself, keep showing up, and never let anyone make you doubt your place. The future is yours. ✨
