The Safaricom Golf Tour makes a return this weekend for the 11th leg at the par 73 Nakuru Golf Club.

The tournament resumes after a three-week break following the last competition in Kitale which saw home-based golfer Elly Sorobea named the overall winner after returning a total of 40 Stableford points.

“Nakuru is the fourth event being held in the Rift Valley region and in the previous three tournaments, we have experienced massive turnouts, especially from the juniors,

“This is a clear indication that the Rift region can produce the next generation of the country’s top golfers,”Peter Ndegwa, CEO, Safaricom said.                                      

The Nakuru tournament has attracted over 250 golfers from courses across the Rift Region and as far as Nairobi, Kisumu, Kakamega and Kisii.

The senior tournament is scheduled to take place on Saturday while the juniors’ event will be held on Sunday.

Nakuru-based 11-year-old junior golfer Peter Gathogo is among the favourites for Sunday’s juniors’ tournament after a victorious win in Kitale.
