As a brand, we are also proud to be associated with the development of this sport right from the grassroot level, this is why through the series we are traversing many counties within Kenya.”

A week ago, Samuel Njunu, Linda Kinyua, Julius Wanyaga, and Susan Irungu displayed unparalleled golfing prowess to return a combined score of 139 points to emerge the winners of the 7^th leg of KCB Golf series in Thika.

“We are excited to be part of the KCB East Africa Golf Tour, we promise to host a very successful tournament and it is our hope that many golfers will register for this competitive tournament. Nyeri offers a conducive environment for a golf outing and the balmy weather makes golfers enjoy the fairways as much as they can.
