The special prize categories saw Audrey Khaleji and Francis Mbithi win Nearest to the Pin for Ladies and Men respectively, while Diana Mbuba and John Thairu walked away with the Longest Drive awards.
The seventh leg of the ongoing series attracted over 115 golfers, who took to the fairways for a day of exciting competition, which also doubled as the club’s Monthly Mug for April. The golfers battled it out not only for prizes but also for qualification slots to the NCBA Golf Series Grand Finale later this year.
This event followed successful tournaments already held at VetLab Sports Club, Nandi Bears Club, Malindi Golf Club, Kenya Railway Golf Club, Kiambu Golf Club, and Nakuru Golf Club. Top performers from these events—including today’s top players (Overall winner, Men and Ladies category winners)—will join the growing list of qualifiers heading to the NCBA Series Grand Finale later in the year.
Speaking at the event, Norbert Khanduli, NCBA Lavington Branch Manager, emphasized the bank’s passion for golf and community. “At NCBA, golf is not just a sport we sponsor, it’s a community we believe in. Through the NCBA Golf Series, we are proud to support a game that reflects our values of discipline, strategy, growth, and consistency.”

He also highlighted that the Golf Park event is just one part of a packed weekend of NCBA-sponsored golf activity across the country, “As we speak, the NCBA Trans Nzoia Championship has teed off at the beautiful Kitale Golf Club—a major event in the 2025 Kenya Amateur Golf Championship (KAGC) calendar, of which NCBA is the proud title sponsor. At the same time, the NCBA Coast Junior Open is underway in Mombasa. Because for us, nurturing the next generation of talent is just as important as celebrating today’s champions.”
The NCBA Golf Series continues to grow in scale and impact, affirming the bank’s commitment to advancing golf at all levels—junior, amateur, and elite. The next leg of the series heads to Thika Sports Club on Saturday, May 3rd, where more golfers will compete for a chance to book their spot in the Grand Finale.
