What you need to know:
- Like last year, ICEA LION has lined-up some fabulous prize for the various categories, besides the trophy that goes to the overall winner.
- Meanwhile, the par 73 Kitale Golf Club course in the North Rift is hosting the Chairman’s Putter golf tournament, which has attracted players from the rest of the clubs in the North Rift, while Vet Lab will stage the first round of the annual Sungura Cup.
The focus in the local amateur golf scene now shifts to the Ruiru Sports Club course where the popular par 72 course hosts the third leg in the ICEA LION King of the Course golf series.
Being sponsored by ICEA LION Insurance Group, Saturday’s King of the Course tournament, which follows Friday’s club-nite at the giant Thika Greens Golf Resort and last weekend’s series opener at Machakos, has attracted a field of over 300 players that include a strong contingent of 30 golfers from Machakos.
