The top two teams from this leg will qualify to play in the grand finale slated for November at the Karen Country Club.

A strong field of over 200 amateur golfers are set to participate in the third leg of the 2023 KCB East Africa Golf Tour at the par-72 Limuru golf course on Saturday, April 29.

Action is set to tee off at 6:30 a.m. as the expansive field, which includes guest players from across the country battle for the two team slots available from this leg to play in the tour’s grand finale later in the year.

So far, only two teams have qualified from the second leg that was staged in Eldoret last weekend.

In addition to the amateur series, KCB will host golf clinics on Friday, April 28 and Sunday, April 30, at the same venue.

The Friday clinic will be targeted at women who are interested in taking up the sport, with the Sunday one aimed at juniors. So far, the clinics have reached over 250 participants in total from the opening legs at Vetlab and Eldoret golf club.

Speaking ahead of the event, KCB Group Director of Marketing and Communications, Rosalind Gichuru said they are prepared to stage a successful event.

“So far, we have hosted over 190 amateur golfers and over 250 participants in our lady and junior clinics. As we head to Limuru, I want to invite you all to what promises to be a great weekend of golf,” she added.

On his part, Limuru captain Renaldo D’souza welcomed all the golfers who have confirmed participation in the third leg of the tourney.

“We have a strong field of over 200 amateur players, with a great mix of juniors and ladies, the course is in great shape and should provide an exciting challenge to the players,” he said.

The top two teams from this leg will qualify to play in the grand finale slated for November at the Karen Country Club, for a chance to play at the 2024 Magical Kenya Ladies Open Pro-Am event.
