In the longest drive contest, Charles Rob and Odhiambo emerged respective winners in the men\u2019s and ladies categories respectively, while Moses Wanjohi claimed top honors in the ‘nearest to the pin’ challenge.<\/p>\n
The event attracted a field of 153 players who braved the hot coastal conditions to battle it out for qualifying positions.<\/p>\n
The top three teams now join the list of teams to play in the next round of the Series \u2013 Eagles Round at Muthaiga Golf Club, as they aim to make the cut to play in the Series\u2019 Grand Finale where a fully paid-up trip to the iconic Gleneagles Golf Course in Scotland will be up for grabs.<\/p>\n
Mary Kandu, Nyali\u2019s immediate former Lady Captain, expressed her excitement after her team qualified for the tournament\u2019s semi-final round.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe course was really good apart from the greens, which were top dressed and so some of them are fast while others were a bit slow. This is one of the biggest events we have held this year at the club, and we thank KBL for the sponsorship and for giving us golfers the opportunity to better our skills and competitiveness. Gleneagles is a dream destination for any golfer and we hope the ultimate winners will come from this club,\u201d said Kandu.<\/p>\n
Leah Mwanzia, KBL\u2019s Coast Regional Sales Representative said:\u00a0“We are delighted to be at this stage of the competition as it means that we are edging closer to our ultimate destination – Gleneagles. We head towards the semi-finals at Muthaiga Golf Club in May and later on play at the Grand Finale at the iconic Gleneagles Golf Course in Scotland.”<\/p>\n
“This competition is a fantastic opportunity for the best of our local golfers to experience Gleneagles which is a true bucket-list destination for both golfers and non-golfers alike. I believe that winners from this leg will represent the club very well at the finals,” she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cKBL believes in the power of sports as an avenue for our audiences to interact with our brands. This is because sport is an affirmation of societal values, with the ability to bring communities together,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Attention now turns to Limuru Country Club for the twelfth leg of the series dubbed \u2018Road to Gleneagles\u2019 on March 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
