Over 200 golfers have enlisted to participate in the fourth leg of the NCBA Golf Series scheduled 15th March at Kiambu Golf Club.
Winners will assure themselves of a slot at the series’ grand finale set to be played later in the year.
At the Kiambu leg, a golfer who manages to make a hole in one at the designated par 3 eighth hole will be awarded a Backhoe Loader.
Tournament partners NCBA expressed their optimism of the series acting as a pathway to pro golf in the country.
“We’re incredibly excited to head to Kiambu Golf Club this weekend, and even more so with the added thrill of the hole-in-one challenge now in play. Golf has always been a game of precision, discipline, and composure and these are qualities we deeply value at NCBA. Partnering with JCB Ganatra Plant and Equipment ltd gives us a chance to bring those values to life in a unique and memorable way. The chance to win a state-of-the-art machine by hitting a hole-in-one brings some level of excitement to the series, and we’re confident it will elevate the experience for both seasoned golfers and newcomers’’, said Lennox Mugambi, NCBA’s Group Director for Asset Finance and Business Solutions.
“At NCBA, we’re committed to enriching our customers’ lives through sport, business, and lifestyle. By offering something as impactful as a JCB Backhoe loader machine to any golfer lucky and skilled enough to hit that perfect shot, we’re showing just how far we’re willing to go to make this series truly unforgettable,” he added.
On his part, Altaf Ganatra, Managing Director at JCB Ganatra Plant and Equipment ltd, said the collaboration is a perfect alignment of shared values between the two institutions:
“We’re proud to be part of the NCBA Golf Series and even prouder to kick things off with the hole-in-one prize at the Kiambu leg. This machine is a symbol of strength, reliability, and progress—values we see reflected not just in NCBA, but also in the spirit of golf itself. These machines are designed to get the job done, no matter the terrain—just like a great golfer rises to every challenge on the course.”
“Our partnership with NCBA goes back many years, and we’re excited to see it evolve into something that connects with people in new, exciting ways. We look forward to celebrating the skill and ambition of golfers across the region, and who knows—maybe we’ll see a few aces this year.”
