Last weekend was quite exciting and we look forward to an even better outing on Sunday. At NCBA, we believe in nurturing talent and creating opportunities
that extend beyond financial growth. Through our sponsorship of the NCBA Golf Series, the Kiambu Open, and junior golf events like the U.S. Kids Spring Tournament, we are proud to support the development of golf in Kenya and across the region. These tournaments are not just about competition,
they are about bringing people together to compete and celebrate the sport, and building the next generation of champions, and we are delighted to be at the center of all this.”
