KCB Golf series heads to Mombasa for its second Leg
Top amateur golfers from Mombasa and its environs will take part at the competition
The 9-hole Mombasa Sports Club will play host to the second leg of the KCB East Africa Golf Tour on Saturday as 100 golfers flex their muscles in the eagerly awaited tourney.
Golfers will brave the lush green as early morning tee action while the afternoon tee is scheduled to kick off at noon. Top amateur golfers from Mombasa and its environs will take part at the competition.
Speaking about the event, Mombasa Sports Club Vice Captain George Mokaya said: “It is such an honor to be part of the Golf series for the second year running. Last year, we had a successful tournament so we expect to replicate the same this year. We have many golfers who have already booked their slots for the weekend’s action. I am looking forward to a fruitful golf action.”
The top two teams from Saturday’s action will automatically book their places in the tour’s grand finale that is slated for December 5, 2025. The venue for this year’s grand finale will be announced ahead of the event.
“Mombasa has a growing fan base of golf so it was a no-brainer for us to go back and host our tournament for the second consecutive time,” said KCB Group Director Marketing and Communications Rosalind Gichuru.
Just like last year, the winning team will receive a KSh 1 million cash reward that will go to a sustainability team that their club is currently undertaking. Additionally, they will get an opportunity to participate in a prestigious golf tournament.
The sponsors’ efforts to expand the sport will see the bank host a juniors’ only golf clinic on Sunday and a tree planting exercise in a bid to strengthen environmental conservation initiatives through the golf series.
The next leg of the East Africa Golf Tour will be held at the Nandi Bears Club on February 15.
