NAIROBI, Kenya, August 20, 2026 – The NCBA Golf Series heads to the coast this weekend with the Nyali Golf & Country Club set to host the latest qualifying leg of the nationwide series on Saturday, August 22.
At least 200 golfers are expected to tee off in Mombasa as they compete for top honours and qualification slots to the NCBA Golf Series Grand Finale, scheduled for November at Karen Country Club.
The Nyali tournament will see golfers compete across the Overall Men Gross, Overall Lady Gross, Division Two Men and Lady, Division Three Overall and Junior categories, with the respective winners earning qualification to the Grand Finale.
Among those expected to contest are William Kaguta and Mary Kandu who emerged as the overall gross winners during last year’s edition.
The event follows the Nyahururu Golf Club leg held on August 8, where Cyrus Lwenyi emerged as the Overall winner with a gross score of 78.
Simon Ngugi took the Division One Men’s title with 81 gross, while Susan Hiuko emerged as the Ladies winner in the category.
Jobsam Njoroge won the Junior category, joining the growing list of golfers who have secured their places at the season-ending Grand Finale.
Meanwhile, NCBA’s support for junior golf continues this weekend with the opening event of the 2026 NCBA U.S. Kids Golf Nairobi Fall Local Tour scheduled for Sunday, August 23, at Thika Greens Golf Resort.
The tournament will bring together boys and girls aged between five and 18 years, competing in age-appropriate divisions designed to provide competitive experience while supporting their development in the sport.
The Nairobi Fall Local Tour will feature events at courses including Thika Greens, Ruiru, Limuru, Muthaiga, Migaa, Thika Sports, and Royal Nairobi before the Tour Championship which will be held at VetLab Sports Club.
The programme is organised in partnership with U.S. Kids Golf and the Junior Golf Foundation Kenya, with support from NCBA.
The young golfers will also have an opportunity to earn Priority Status points, which could qualify them for U.S. Kids Golf international events, including the Regional Invitational and the U.S. Kids Golf Regional Championship.
NCBA’s investment in junior golf forms part of its broader commitment to nurturing the next generation of talent by providing young golfers with opportunities to compete, develop their skills and gain valuable exposure.
