More than 200 golfers will converge at Ruiru Sports Club on Saturday for the third edition of the Swing and Wine Golf Tournament.

The tournament, organised by the immediate former Ruiru Sports Club Lady Captain, Rodah Mukami and friends, brings together some of the region’s top amateur golfers.

Golfers will compete for honours across several categories including the Gross Winner, Overall Winner, Men’s Winner, Ladies' Winner, Seniors Winner, Guest Winner and Junior Winner.

Mukami said: “The tournament has continued to grow with each edition, and this year we look forward to an exciting day of quality golf, friendship, networking, and celebration."

"We are grateful to our partners and everyone who has supported the tournament and made its growth possible.”

The tournament has received support from several partners, including Banny’s, JWines, Robisearch Ltd, Velowra Beauty and Supplements, and Stima Investment, who have come on board to support the event and enhance the experience for participating golfers.

The tournament also underscores Ruiru Sports Club’s growing stature as a key destination for golf events in the country.

The club continues to host some of the biggest events on the golf calendar, attracting golfers from different parts of the country and providing a platform for competitive and social golf.

Captain Justus Mathenge said: “Ruiru Sports Club continues to grow in stature and is increasingly becoming a preferred venue for some of the biggest events in the golf calendar."
