Kitale the next stop for NCBA Golf series

Kitale Club will this Saturday, 19 August play host to the ongoing NCBA Golf Series. This will be the twelfth event on the tournament’s calendar.
At least one hundred golfers will tackle the par-seventy two course as they aim to qualify for the Tournament’s Grand Final to be held at the Sigona Golf Club in December.
Speaking ahead of the tournament, NCBA Group Director John Gachora said, “We are delighted to be taking this series to Kitale County once again. Being the twelfth event in the series, this has been nothing but an amazing journey for us.”
“This tournament has provided an opportunity for golfers around the country to showcase their talents and skills, and has also offered us the chance to interact with our clients from the different regions. As we head to Kitale for this event, we look forward to another amazing golf out at the scenic Kitale Club,” added Gachora.
The tournament follows the eleventh leg held this past weekend at the Nyali Golf & Country Club, that attracted 180 golfers. Home player Olaf Grothey emerged overall winner after carding an impressive round of seventy two gross.
 Mohdhar Abubakar carded a round of seventy six gross to claim the winner’s position in the men’s category ahead of Jimmy Kingori who ended the round with seventy seven gross. The Ladies’ category was won by Mary Kandu after managing a round of eighty two gross, beating Truphena Oyaro on countback.
