Golf is the island that surrounded Edwin and his elder brother Nelson while growing up at the historic Eldoret Club, where their father Mudanyi was arguably a great chef.

The brothers would occasionally take a bite of their father’s delicacies before rushing outside to either watch, play or support a game that would be ongoing at the club.

Tournaments were endless and plenty; the pristine golf course was ever busy, teeming at the weekends, when cutthroat competitions were rife, with contestants from all over the country.
