Handicap five Peter Waweru is delighted after qualifying for the 2024 NCBA Golf Series grand finale at Muthaiga on November 29.
Waweru booked his slot after carding 35 points to claim the top prize at the 19th qualifying leg at the scenic Nanyuki Sports Club.
The veteran fended off a tough challenge from Moses Muthoki, whom he beat on countback.
“I'm delighted to qualify for the grand finale of the NCBA Golf Series. It was a challenging play, but the hard work paid off. I'm looking forward to competing with the best and giving it my all in November. This opportunity means a lot to me. I’m excited to see what lies ahead," said Waweru.
Stephen Mutethia was the Division Two with 37 points while Purity Githui won the ladies' title with 35 points.
Handicap 27 Ian Kirimi won Division Three with 35 points while Chris Njuguna was the standout guest with 37 points.
Samuel Mwangi dominated the staff category with 43 points while Joseph (Jnr) Warui claimed the junior prize after scoring 34.
120 golfers participated in the leg as the series returned to Nanyuki for the first time since 2021.
NCBA's Tirus Mwithiga said: "We’re delighted to be back on this course after a two-year hiatus. The beauty and challenge of this venue make it a standout and we hope to make Nanyuki Sports Club a regular fixture in our series. This region has so much to offer and we are excited about the prospect of serving you and continuing to grow together.
“Today’s event has been a testament to the incredible talent and passion found here. The level of skill, determination and sportsmanship displayed on the course was nothing short of inspiring.”
Meanwhile, the bank — under the Change The Story initiative — planted and donated over 100 indigenous trees at the Nanyuki Sports Club.
This aims at supporting environmental conservation and enhancing the club's green spaces.
The series heads to the Royal Nairobi Golf Club qualifier on September 28.
