We look forward to continuing our support for the golfing community and to witnessing the grand finale later this year with the winners who qualified here today.”
Following the Limuru event, six of the top golfers secured their slots to play at the series grand finale, scheduled for Muthaiga Golf Club in November. The six include the top male and female finishers in Divisions One and Two, and the overall winner in Division Three, as well as the overall Junior winner.
In addition to the golf action, NCBA underscored its commitment to sustainability by donating 100 indigenous trees to Limuru Country Club. The initiative is part of NCBA’s broader environmental stewardship efforts, aimed at promoting a greener and more sustainable future.
With the successful end of the Limuru event, action now heads to VetLab Sports Club on August 24th, where another exciting round of the NCBA Golf Series awaits. Golfers will once again have the chance to compete for top honors and secure their spots in the grand finale.
