But they were in tournament staged in Mufindi in Iringa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis idea was to connect local pros to Nicklaus for the development purposes, this was a brilliant idea and heartfelt thought to the game, we have lost one of important friends too,\u201d said Dilunga.<\/p>\n<p>Like Mwanyenza, Dilunga also sees Waitara as perfect person at patronage position. Pro Hassan Kadio added: \u201cI have known Bomani for many as a sponsor, golf stakeholder and golf patron. He fit perfect in all positions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember his support to the national team since playing amateur; also at pro rank, he has done lots towards development of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: MBONILE BURTON AfricaPress-Tanzania: PROFESSIONAL Golfers Association Tanzania (PGAT) has paid homage to the First Tanzania\u2019s Attorney General, Retired Judge Mark Bomani who was laid to rest this week, as second to none in contributing to development of golf in the country.
