At least 186 junior golfers, aged between 5 and 18 years, are set to participate in the NCBA US Kids Golf Fall Local Tour at Muthaiga Golf Club this Saturday.
The tournament, jointly organized by US Kids Golf and the Junior Golf Foundation Kenya, is supported by NCBA Bank.
The event aims to provide young golfers with a platform to refine their skills and enhance their competitiveness.
It also offers them a chance to qualify for international tournaments organized by US Kids Golf by earning points for Priority Status.
The NCBA US Kids Fall Tour has successfully conducted seven major events at various prestigious clubs: Limuru Country Club, Sigona Golf Club, Karen Country Club, Vet Lab Sports Club, and Windsor Golf Club, which hosted three of the events.
Despite some clubs being affected by floods, the resilience and dedication of the organizers ensured the successful completion of these events.

He highlighted that the partnership has significantly contributed to the development and nurturing of young talent in golf, providing a valuable platform for juniors to showcase their skills.
“Lastly, we commend the junior golfers for their commitment to the sport, adherence to the rules, and for inspiring their peers to take up golf,” he said.
He also extended thanks to the parents for their dedication and effort in ensuring their children participate in these tournaments, acknowledging their invaluable support.
