Over 200 golfers are set to participate in the fifth leg of the NCBA Golf series scheduled this weekend at the par 72 Kenya Railways Golf Club,Nairobi.
Winners in Division One and Two, the overall Division Three winner, and the junior category winner will book their spots in the grand finale.
The 2025 series teed off in January at the VetLab Sports Club before making stops at the Nandi Bears Club, Malindi Golf Club, and recently the Kiambu Golf Club last weekend.
Tournament partners NCBA expressed their delight of the leg attracting top talents as the series strives to unearth emerging golfing talents.
“We are delighted to return to Kenya Railway Golf Club, where we launched this year’s NCBA Golf Series back in January. The level of competition we have seen so far after just four legs in the series has been remarkable, and we are eager to witness another fantastic tournament this weekend. Golf continues to be an important platform for us to engage with our customers and the wider community, and we remain committed to growing the sport across the region,”John Gachora NCBA MD said.
Elsewhere, two junior golf events are set to take place this weekend at the Windsor Golf & Country Club; the NCBA Interschool Golf Tournament 1 on Friday March 21 and the NCBA U.S. Kids Golf Spring Local Tour.
Over 200 budding golfers are expected to take part in the events.
The non-handicap Interschool Tournament will be open to juniors between five and 18 years and will be played in strokeplay format. 10 years and under will play across nine holes while the 11-14 years and 15-18 years will be played across 18 holes.
On Sunday, the fourth tournament in the NCBA U.S. Kids Golf Spring Local Tour will take center-stage at the same club. The series teed off at the VetLab Sports Club in February before moving to Limuru Country Club, and then the Karen Country Club.
The tournaments, which are organized by the Junior Golf Foundation (JGF) and supported by NCBA, aim to provide a platform for young golfers to showcase their skills and compete against their peers.
Speaking ahead of the junior events, JGF Chairman Vincent Mukiri said: “Such tournaments are essential in developing the talents of our young golfers. They provide them with a platform to showcase their skills and compete with their peers, which is crucial in their growth as golfers. We, therefore, look forward to these tournaments hoping to see some great golfing displays by our juniors.”
