Over 120 golfers are taking part in the NCBA golf series at the par-72 Nanyuki Sports Club.
It’s the third time that the club is hosting the qualifying leg, following events held in 2021 and last year.
Golfers are battling for honors in multiple categories, including Overall Men Gross Winner, Overall Lady Gross Winner, Division 2 Men & Lady Winner, Division 3 Overall Winner, and Junior Winner where each category winner will secure a ticket to play in the Grand Finale at Muthaiga Golf Club on November 28.
Nanyuki Sports Club Chairman Joseph Mwangi intimated that the club was ready for the battle on the greens.
“We are glad to be hosting this leg of the series once again after the return last year. It will give our golfers a great chance to qualify for the grand finale in November. We are hopeful that it will continue being a constant event in our calendar and we thank NCBA for trusting us to host a successful event.”
Last year, Major (Retired) Peter Waweru, carded an excellent round of 35 points to win the Nanyuki event, fending off a stiff challenge from Moses Muthoki.
The Nanyuki event comes on the back of another qualifier at the Royal Nairobi Golf Club where 15-Year-Old Cherono Kipkorir upset the form book to emerge the Overall Gross Lady Winner as Kevin Juma won the men’s title.
