Already, the club’s golfers have been engaged in intensive training in readiness for the annual PricewaterhouseCoopers Golf tournament ahead of its tee off at the club’s par 72 course on October 22.
Joseph Masai, the Lugalo Club’s golf captain, said in Dar es Salaam yesterday that preparations were going on as well as training on the golfers’ side. He said the tournament is being organised by the Lugalo club in collaboration with sponsors PWC and already a bumper entry has been confirmed.
The tournament, according to Masai, aims to bring PWC c l i e n t s together, build relationship among them and promote the game at the club and the national level as well. Adding, he said, the oneday event will cover 18 holes in a stroke-play nett format.
“Still, it is open for golfers from all clubs based in the country,” he said. Masai said that invitation has already been sent to other clubs in a move to lure more golfers to play on the club’s course.
“All preparations is going on well, so far we are looking for players to be registered as October 19 is set as a deadline for those wished to take place,” he said. He said that prizes await winners and runners up in men’s Division A, B and C, seniors, ladies, juniors and professional golfers. Masai added that the course has been in an excellent condition and its form will be maintained until the event’s tee off.
“We hope that many players will come in big number to support like it happened to other tournaments,” he said. But, according to him, the host golfers will have to pay 20,000/- each as an entry fee, but it will be free for juniors.
The tournament’s defending champion is Rick Park who claimed the throne after netting an impressive twounder par 70 strokes. Park who was playing off handicap-10 beat other 120 golfers who took part in the one- day’s 18-hole tournament.
