NCBA Golf Series heads to Mombasa as title hunt intensifies

The 2026 NCBA Golf Series heads to the Kenyan coast this Saturday for the Mombasa Golf Club Mug, marking the fourth leg of this year’s circuit.  

More than 80 Golfers will converge at the historic coastal course seeking top honours and valuable qualification slots to the season-ending Grand Finale. 

Qualification to the Grand Finale, set to be held later in the year at the prestigious Karen Country Club, will be earned by the Overall Gross Winner, Men’s Gross Winner, Lady Gross Winner, Division 2 Men Winner, Division 2 Lady Winner, Division 3 Winner, and the leading Junior. 

Last year, Gurbux Singh delivered a commanding round of 77 to clinch the Overall Gross Winner title, with George Githinji carding an impressive 72 strokes off handicap 8 to emerge Division One winner.  

Division Two witnessed standout performances, with Clifford Tolo posting a remarkable 64 to secure top honours, narrowly ahead of Sam Muraya, who finished on 65. George Mokaya completed the podium places with a score of 71. 

In Division Three, Salim Taib triumphed with a score of 69, followed closely by Vincent Muriungi on 70, while Paul Munyao sealed third place after returning 71. 

Singh, Githinji, Tolo and Taib went on to represent Mombasa Golf Club at the Grand Finale and will be hoping to do so again this year when they take to the course on Saturday. 

NCBA Group Managing Director John Gachora stated, “The NCBA Golf Series brings communities together and challenges golfers to push their limits. As we head to Mombasa for the fourth leg of the season, we are excited to see players continue to embody this year’s theme of ‘Conquering the Course.’

“The Coast has always delivered exceptional talent and spirit, and we look forward to another memorable weekend. 

“Juniors will also be in action at Limuru and this further shows our commitment to growing the game, from the most basic level to the professional level so that we can experience more of what we experienced from Njoroge Kibugu at the Magical Kenya Open last week.” 

Meanwhile, junior golfers will also be in action this weekend as the NCBA US Kids Golf Spring Local Tour continues with its second leg at Limuru Golf Club on Sunday. 

The tour teed off earlier this month at Vet Lab Sports Club on February 15, 2026, and continues to provide a competitive platform for emerging young talent.
