Sigona golf club will be hosting the grand finale for the 2023 NCBA Golf Series tomorrow.
This event will see golfers who triumphed in their club competitions gather for the ultimate showdown, competing for the series’ top honours in the overall, men’s, ladies’, and junior categories.
This year’s grand finale has a total prize pool of Sh300,000, with each of the three top finishers— the overall winner, men’s winner, and ladies’ winner— receiving a Sh100,000 cash prize each.
Golfers like Kevin Mbatia of Railway Golf Club, who clinched the overall victory in his home club’s leg, and Limuru’s duo of Paul Muchangi and John Kariuki, who demonstrated their prowess with impressive scores of 73 and 76 gross, respectively during their club’s tournaments.
Eyes will also be on the skilled scratch golfer John Odhiambo from Royal, Muthaiga’s Evans Vitisia, Kitale’s Isaac Gitonga, Wade Kilburn and Paul Kaguamba from Karen, who delivered top performances in their respective home club tournaments.
Among the ladies expected are Noni Wanyee, winner of the ladies’ category at Limuru Golf Club, Kakamega’s Lydia Aketch, and Vetlab’s Mary Karano.
Sigona Golf Club captain Pratik Sanghrajka said: “The tournament preparations are in the final stages, and the course is in excellent condition, thanks to the ongoing rains. We are ready to welcome the finest amateur golfers for a great day of golf and we look forward to the tournament.”
The Series teed off in March at the Kenya Railway Golf Club, with subsequent qualifiers hosted at various clubs across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
