Over 200 golfers set for the second leg of the NCBA Golf Series

Over 200 golfers are expected to grace the second leg of the NCBA Golf Series taking place at the Limuru Country Club on Saturday, April 15.

The event was launched in March this year and will see the golfers vying for a chance to play in the grand finale in December at the Sigona Golf Club, where cash prizes will be up for grabs.

Following a successful first leg at Kenya Railway Golf Club last month, the top qualifiers include Kevin Mbatia, who emerged as the overall winner, Fidhelis Kimanzi, who starred among the men, and Dr. Mary Wainaina, who won the Women's Category.

This year's series will feature 16 senior qualifier events held across the country and a juniors’ tournament at Nyali Golf Club. The NCBA Golf Series mainly focuses on developing young talent and providing opportunities for seasoned golfers to showcase their skills.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, NCBA Group Managing Director John Gachora was happy to host the event and hoped that they will be able to host successful editions of the same going forward.

“Our aim is to create a tournament that not only showcases the talent of our local golfers but also provides a fun and engaging experience for everyone involved. We believe that the NCBA Golf Series is a unique and exciting platform that will inspire the next generation of golfers and contribute to the growth of the sport in the region," he added.
