CHAINAMA Hills Golf Club President Paul Nkoma has described the 2022 Presidents’ putter and Captain golf tournament as a success.
Speaking during the prize giving cocktail party held on Saturday night, Nkoma said the tournament was well attended as over 150 golfers from different golf clubs across the country competed in various categories.
Nkoma encouraged members who didn’t win any prizes at the tournament which was dominated by Champion Kylian Mwela to keep persevering and work hard for the next championships.
He hailed main tournament sponsors RwandAir and all the corporates that worked with the tournament’s organising committee to deliver a successful tournament which was also used to reward exceptional employees at the club.
Nkoma also saluted club members for giving the executive committee the support needed and encouraged them to continue working together to deliver.
Asked if he was happy with the success recording by his executive in the last one year as they head to the annual general meeting in two weeks’ time, Nkoma said; “We are happy. I must mention that this year, Covid numbers have dropped, the world has opened up and that has been good for the club. The club is able to host more events and have more golfers playing meaning naturally that there is more resources for the club to keep running so we are happy, it has been a good year, it has been a good turn after the Covid pandemic era ended.
And Club captain Colonel Sydney Sichimata urged club members who are yet to pay their subscription fees to do so before the general meeting.
Meanwhile Assistant Secretary General of Programmes at COMESA, Kipyego Cheluget from Kenya commended the club for hosting a successful tournament.
Cheluget, who was impressed by the golf course encouraged Zambians to take care of the golf course which he described as a national treasure.
