In sports, one must choose the best playing team partner in order to beat others and this was evident when home club’s Moses Namuye went through all the 113 players but finally settled to play with club mate Tobias Khoi.

The choice bore fruit after the duo carded an excellent 45 stable ford points to merge the overall team winner of the men green-some golf tournament played at the par 71  Nyali golf and country club course in Mombasa county on Saturday.

“We are overwhelmed with gratitude this evening to be the overall winners of this tournament. Many of our hours went into practice and we will continue to improve our game as we look forward to more victories. We are indeed humbled and appreciative to you all,” said Namuye and Khoi.

Nyali Golf and Country Club organised and supported the daylong 18 holes’ tournament that saw Gurbux Singh and his son Tanraj Singh claim the second spot on 43 points, two points ahead of third placed team of Thusara De Silva and Reaz Alibhai.    

William Kamau and Alex Macharia were the guest team winners after returning a score of 32 points.

In the ladies green-some, it was Navinder Kaur and Nancy Gathunga calling the shots after recording 42 points to emerge the team winners.

Veteran lady golfer Florence Karimi who teamed up with Betty Bundotich were the team runners up on a count back score of 41 points after tying on the same points with the third placed team of German-based Kenyan lady golfer Joyce Radtke and Rose Kinyanjui.

Sandra Githere from Mombasa Golf Club was the guest team winner on 38 points teaming up with Rose Catherine while Saina Odhiambo and Janet Ouma were best caddies.
