The first official tee shot at the Karen Country Club’s golf course was taken on Saturday the 23rd of October, 1937 by captain A. K. Gibson. He was playing against F. S. Dunn in a match between the club and the Kenya Golfing Society.
Dunn had bought himself a new driver for the occasion and as he was addressing his ball for his tee shot, a cobra slithered between his feet to get a closer look. Unfortunately, the serpent got the short end of the stick (quite literally) and in the process, Dunn’s new driver also met its end.
