What you need to know:

  • KGU chairman Ben Omuodo said the union was happy that NCBA had decided to involve junior golf in its sponsorship.
  • “Our goal as a sporting organisation is to develop the game of golf through the junior programme, and it is refreshing to find a partner like NCBA are also thinking in the same lines as we do," said Omudo. 

A country-wide amateur golf series, which will also include some junior tournaments, was launched at the Royal Nairobi Golf Club Wednesday.

The 20-events series, so far the biggest amateur golf series in the country, is being sponsored by NCBA Bank, which has injected Sh22 million for the new-look golf series.
