Over 100 golfers will be stretching their muscles at the highly-anticipated KCB East Africa Golf Tour at the lush par 71 Kisii Golf Club this coming Saturday.
The event, which is expected to bring together golfers from various counties, will tee off at 6:30 am for the morning action. The afternoon tee time has been set for noon, where golfers will be battling for the tour’s grand finale spots.
Speaking ahead of the event, Kisii Golf Club captain Adrian Monari said: “We are working towards ensuring that this event is a success. As a club, our greens have been well kept, while the fairways are wide enough to allow golfers to enjoy their golf. We expect a huge number of players to compete this weekend, and it is my wish that the best team will qualify for the tour’s grand finale.”
Recently, two teams from Machakos Golf Club qualified for the tour’s finale after an excellent outing. They include Benjamin Mumo, John Masai, Faustine Maithya, L.M. Kamba, Richard Muli, Bernard Mutua, Major Mumo, and Jack Musomba.
“The KCB East Africa Golf Tour is not just about golf; it is about creating connections, nurturing talent, and giving back to communities. We are excited to bring the tournament to Kisii and continue fostering regional integration and camaraderie through sport,” said KCB Group Director Marketing and Communications Rosalind Gichuru.
The series has already traversed seven counties in Kenya and two other countries in the East African region, Burundi, and Uganda. The golf tour continues to foster regional unity, democratizing the sport, and using golf as a driver of socio-economic development.
So far, the competition has reached over 1,500 participants and over 1,000 juniors through the clinics that are held concurrently with the series. The Bank also recently hosted a caddie tournament during the Nakuru leg of the tour, ensuring that everyone is part of its series.
