Over 320 golfers drawn from different clubs in the country are expected to converge at the par 73 Ruiru Golf Course for the Legendary Golf tournament on Saturday.
Legendary Golfers is a multi-disciplinary group of professionals brought together by the beautiful game of golf.
The golfers will compete for top prizes as organisers promise a fun-filled outing in the morning and crowning it with live band music in the evening.
The 18-hole course will see action tee off at 6:40 am, while the afternoon tee will start at 10:50 am- 1:30 pm at the event sponsored by among others First Assurance, Floor Knight, Gelian Hotel Machakos, Ngambi Fresh, Kwetu Real Estate.
“We are delighted to host some of the biggest names in the sport this weekend during the Legendary Golf Day in Ruiru. We have partnered with some of the top corporate brands to organise this amazing journey that will see the winners grab top prizes. Our course is in good shape, and the greens offer an enabling environment for players to compete,” said Ruiru Club captain, JK Muraguri
Rhodah Mukami an ardent golfer, who was crowned the overall winner of the IPF golf tournament two weeks ago at the same venue having carded an excellent score of 41 Stableford points, will be one of the key players to watch.
Others include single handicap long-hitting Bernard Omondi, Joe Muendo and Beatrice Waweru.
“I am looking forward to picking up from where I left having won over 240 top amateurs. It is going to be a very tough battle against the best golfers in the country, but I believe with my experience and a good run of form, I will emerge victorious. My swing is there, and I intend to make a statement right from the onset,” said Ruiru-based player, Rhoda Muhunyo.
This is part of Ruiru Sports Club's series of activities that began earlier in the year with corporate entities like IPF hosting tournaments at the Thika Road-based facility.
