Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>The KCB East Africa Golf Tour has attracted a huge field of over 300 players this Saturday at the par 72 Kakamega Golf Club.<\/p>\n

Action is expected to tee off at 6:30 am as members from the Kakamega Golf Club and guest players from around the country, battle to join the winning teams from Mombasa, and Eldoret in the Tour\u2019s Grand Finale slated for December 6.<\/p>\n

Kakamega Golf Club captain James Anzabwa said: \u201cKakamega is proud to be associated with the KCB East Africa Golf Tour for the second year running.<\/p>\n

“This weekend will be a competitive showpiece as we expect top amateur players to participate in the tournament. I can assure them that the greens are okay, and the fairways are wide enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, the tournament has reached over 300 participants in total from the previous opening legs in Mombasa, and Eldoret Golf Clubs. This year the tour is expected to feature 3000 golfers, 1000 juniors and 500 ladies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aim to expand this sport and improve it to an elite level so that we can have players with the skill set to participate in local, regional and international competitions. Kakamega has become a fortress in golf and, therefore, we can\u2019t afford to omit them in our calendar. We look forward to crowning the winners who will take part in the Grand Finale,\u201d noted KCB Group director of marketing and communications Rosalind Gichuru.<\/p>\n

The bank has partnered with Beulah City Ltd, a property firm, which has committed to giving an apartment (in the Ikhaya Beulah Genesis project) valued at Sh2.1 million as the hole-in-one prize for every leg of the 2024 Tour.<\/p>\n

In addition to the amateur series, the third leg tournament will see a golf clinic hosted on Sunday, targeting junior golfers.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, KCB has spent over Sh400 million in golf sponsorships with a robust aim of building the sport to an elite level and creating a pool of talent that can compete in local, and regional tournaments.<\/p>\n
