Over 100 To Battle In ACK Church Kids To Kids Charity Golf Tournament On Friday
NAIROBI, Kenya- Over 100 players are set to take part in the inaugural edition of ACK Christ Church Kids To Kids Centre Charity Golf Day Tournament at the par 72 Vet Lab Sports Club in Kabete on Friday.
First off the tee will be the batch of Nandwa-Asura, M. Munyeria, S. Mutai and M. Maina at 8 am.
The afternoon draw tee off will start at 11.52am with the contingent of C. Kamari, J. Rwambo, C. Nderitu and A. Tito hitting the fairways to look for glory.
The ecstatic participants have been cautioned against some of the challenging holes on the well-manicured Vet Lab course with no major challenging roughs.
In the front nine, the players should be wary of the par-4 hole 3 that has tricky pin position. The par-4 hole 4 has well-guarded greens which are easy to miss.
The Par-5 hole 14 and par- 4 hole 17 are very tricky in the back nine. Hole 14 is a very long stretch with two Out Of Bounds (OBs) on both sides of the fairways, with greens well protected by the bunkers. Hole 17 is dog-legged, climbing to the left with the greens well protected by three protruding bunkers.
“Kids to Kids is a Christ church outreach ministry to the neediest children from the slums in Westlands, Nairobi,” David Shilaho, Kids to Kids Coordinator at ACK Christ Church Westlands, told Standard Sports.
“Our goal is to provide 30 children each year with nutrition and education needs, then integrate them into the National Education System.
“We aim to recruit 30 children at the end of every year. We presently have 30 children under our care,” Shilaho underlined.
Sponsors who have come on board to support the tournament are the Co-operative Bank, Mayfair Insurance, Eden Event Planners, Astra Dental, KCB, Nam Builders, Twiga Foods, Stellar Physio, Liberty Life, Heritage Insurance, Lake Naivasha Resort and the Friends of ACK Christ Church.
“Kids to Kids welcomes volunteers to their daily programme for various activities including reading with the children, playing games, mentorship, and participation in the Tuesday church service,” Shilaho added.
