NCBA Group Managing Director John Gachora stated, “The NCBA Golf Series brings communities together and challenges golfers to push their limits. As we head to Mombasa for the fourth leg of the season, we are excited to see players continue to embody this year’s theme of ‘Conquering the Course.’ The Coast has always delivered exceptional talent and spirit, and we look forward to another memorable weekend. Juniors will also be in action at Limuru and this further shows our commitment to growing the game, from the most basic level to the professional level so that we can experience more of what we experienced from Njoroge Kibugu at the Magical Kenya Open last week.”
Meanwhile, junior golfers will also be in action this weekend as the NCBA US Kids Golf Spring Local Tour continues with its second leg at Limuru Golf Club on Sunday.

Meanwhile, over 100 invited golfers and guests have gathered at Karen Country Club on Thursday,27 th, February for the NCBA Corporate golf day, a premium sporting and networking event that continues to cement golf as a key pillar of the bank’s stakeholder engagement strategy.

The participants are drawn from NCBA’s corporate clients, High-Net-Worth Individuals and strategic partners, who will also enjoy curated hospitality experiences throughout the day.
The event, which is making a comeback since its last edition in 2018, forms part of NCBA Group’s broader and sustained investment in golf as a platform for strategic engagement.
Over the past five years, the bank has strengthened its presence in the sport through flagship initiatives such as the annual NCBA Golf Series and the Kenya Amateur Golf Championship, among other competitive and development-focused tournaments across the country.
Through these engagements, NCBA has positioned itself as a leading corporate supporter of golf in Kenya, supporting both elite competition and amateur participation while creating meaningful touchpoints with stakeholders in a relationship-driven environment.
John Gachora, NCBA Managing Director, noted that the Corporate Golf Day underscores the Group’s deliberate investment in relationship-driven growth and long-term partnership building.
“At NCBA, we understand that sustainable growth is built on trust, consistency and shared ambition. The Corporate Golf Day is more than a sporting event, it is an opportunity to pause, connect and appreciate the clients and partners who continue to grow with us. Beyond financial solutions, we are committed to creating meaningful engagements that strengthen relationships and unlock new possibilities together.”
