Karen golf club will be hosting the grand finale of the 2021 NCBA Golf Series tomorrow where 105 golfers qualified to play through the 21 seniors’ events in the Series.
The playing field comprises five top finishers – overall winner, men’s winner, men’s runner-up, ladies’ winner, and ladies’ runner-up – from each of the 21 events. Among them are three junior golfers who emerged overall winners at their respective clubs’ legs of the Series.
The three are eleven-year-old Cherono Kipkorir, who emerged overall winner at the Royal Nairobi Golf Club; eleven-year-old, Mumbi Gatu, who was crowned overall winner at the Limuru Country Club; and twelve-year-old Nathan Mwangi, who won at the Karen event. Nathan also emerged victorious at Karen during the two-day Junior Golf Tournament held in August when he took the winner’s spot in the 12-year-olds category.
The Series, which teed off in January this year at the Thika Golf Club, has seen the participation of close to 3,000 golfers taking part across the participating golf clubs, making it one of the most successful golf series in the 2021 Kenyan golf calendar.
Speaking ahead of the event, NCBA Group Managing Director John Gachora said:
“We are thrilled to be holding our Grand Finale this Friday as a culmination of what has been an extremely successful golf series. To have the top players from across the Series battling it out for top honours at one of Kenya’s most pristine golf courses is the pinnacle of all the work that the entire team behind this Series has put into ensuring that the Bank’s vision for the sport comes to fruition.
