KCB East Africa Golf Tour Heads to Machakos this Weekend
Over 100
golfers from Machakos and other clubs are expected to headline the 17th leg of
the KCB East Africa Golf Tour at the - hole Machakos Golf Club this Saturday.
The
much-awaited tourney will see action get underway at 6:30am as golfers brave
the greens for a competitive outing.
Top two
teams will book a slot in the tour’s grand finale slated for December 6, 2024.
“This is
the second year running we are visiting Machakos Golf Club underscoring our
commitment to grow the game from this talent rich region. Our involvement in
the sport is not only aimed at giving golfers an opportunity to play but also,
expanding the game to ensure that everyone enjoys and becomes part of our
series.
"We
are looking forward to hosting over 100 top players in an amazing outing,”
noted KCB Group Director Marketing and Communications Rosalind Gichuru.
The latest
entries to the grand finale party includes Jeff Muthoki, Winston Kirimi, Kevin
Kabugi, Ian Kirimi, Gabriel Miungi, captain Anthony Rukwaro, James Warui and
Rama Maulid who qualified after their impressive performance at the Nanyuki leg
of the series a fortnight ago.
Commenting
on the event, Machakos Golf Club Captain Stephen Musyoka said:
“The
course is in a good shape and our fairways are wide enough to allow the players
to enjoy themselves. I appreciate KCB for always thinking about us in their
series, this shows that they believe in our capacity to host a successful
tournament. We look forward to Saturday and we cannot wait to see the overall
winners.”
The Bank has
also embedded sustainability at the heart of the series, since last year, tree
planting exercises have been done in the different courses the tour has graced
– highlighting KCB’s efforts to curb the climate change effects.
In
addition, the Club that produces the overall winners will receive a Ksh. 1
million cash prize geared towards a sustainability initiative that they are
currently undertaking.
To further
sweeten the competition, the Bank has partnered with Beulah City Ltd, a
property firm, to give an apartment valued at Ksh. 2.1 million as the hole in
one prize for every during the 2024 tour.
