Some years ago, I played a round of golf with the affable Lady-Captain of Limuru Country Club, Wairimu Thande. She is known to speak her mind in a very entertaining way. After playing the second hole, Wairimu walked up to me and asked me, “do you want us to play ndubia golf?”
Ndubia is a Gikuyu word for insipid or sugarless tea; I had never heard golf referred to in that way. Naturally, I had to ask what she meant.
