Kenya Airforce Golf Club to host ninth edition of NCBA Golf series

The 2024 NCBA Golf Series is set to be held at the Kenya Airforce Golf Club in Eastleigh, Nairobi this Saturday, July 27th. Marking the ninth edition of the series, this will be the first time the series will be held at the Airforce’s 9-hole course, promising a unique golfing experience.

Over 100 golfers are set to tee off, vying for coveted spots at the series Grand Finale later this year. The slots will be awarded to the winners of the Division 1 (Men & Ladies), Division 2 (men and ladies), the overall Division 3 victor, and the standout performer in the Junior category.

We’re particularly excited to introduce this exceptional course to the series for the first time and we are hoping to witness exceptional talent, similar to what we have seen in previous tournaments.”

“This tournament aligns perfectly with NCBA’s commitment to supporting the sport of golf at all levels. By bringing the Series to new venues like the Kenya Airforce Golf Club, we can expose a wider audience to the sport and contribute to the growth of Kenya’s golfing community.”
