The tournament attracted 80 golfers who gathered at the scenic Mt Kipipiri course in Nyandarua County, braving the cool highland conditions and the challenging layout of the relatively new course in pursuit of top honours and qualification opportunities to the NCBA Golf Series Grand Finale set for later in the year at Karen Country Club.
The Mt Kipipiri outing marked the first time the NCBA Golf Series has been played at the course since the club opened its doors last year, reinforcing the bank’s commitment to supporting emerging golf destinations across the country.
The fifth leg follows successful outings earlier this season at Royal Nairobi Golf Club, Kericho Golf Club, Muthaiga Golf Club, and most recently Mombasa Golf Club, as golfers continue their quest for qualification to the season-ending Grand Finale.
