Golfers in the 2025 NCBA Golf Series have more than just bragging rights to play for—one lucky swing could drive away a top-of-the-line JCB 3DX Sitemaster construction machine.
On Tuesday, NCBA Bank signed a partnership deal with agriculture equipment dealer JCB Ganatra.
Through this collaboration, JCB Ganatra will offer the JCB 3DX Sitemaster as a hole-in-one prize in the majority of tournaments on the 2025 NCBA Golf Series calendar.
Known for their power, efficiency, and operator comfort, the 3DX Sitemaster machines are built to handle heavy-duty tasks, including digging, loading, and roading.
This exciting incentive adds an extra layer of thrill to one of the region’s most dynamic amateur golf circuits.
The 2025 NCBA Golf Series, which teed off in January, features 41 qualifier events across golf courses in Kenya and the East African region.
Speaking on the partnership, Tirus Mwithiga, NCBA’s Group Director for Retail Banking, highlighted the significance of the collaboration.
“The chance to win a state-of-the-art machine by hitting a hole-in-one brings an extra level of excitement to the series, and we’re confident it will elevate the experience for both seasoned golfers and newcomers,” said Mwithiga.
He reaffirmed NCBA’s commitment to delivering meaningful experiences for its customers.
“This partnership with JCB Ganatra reflects that commitment. Golfers now have even more reason to bring their A-game to the course because this year, a single swing could change their life,” he said.
Altaf Ganatra, Managing Director at JCB Ganatra, emphasized the synergy between the two brands.
“The JCB 3DX Sitemaster is a symbol of strength, reliability, and progress—values we see reflected not just in NCBA, but also in the spirit of golf itself. These machines are designed to get the job done, no matter the terrain—just like a great golfer rises to every challenge on the course,” he said.
He also noted that JCB Ganatra’s partnership with NCBA has evolved over the years, and they are excited to connect with people in new, meaningful ways.
“We look forward to celebrating the skill and ambition of golfers across the region, and who knows—maybe we’ll see a few aces this year,” he added.
The NCBA Golf Series has grown into one of the premier sporting events in the region, offering a blend of competitive play, networking opportunities, and customer engagement.
With this new hole-in-one prize, the 2025 edition promises to be the most exciting yet.
