The ladies posted an impressive team score of 44 stable ford points, beating 138 other contestants. Congratulating the ladies, Ericsson AfricaCEO, Lars Linden said he was not surprised. “Golf is all about communication, something we at Ericsson are particularly good at – and something that ladies are excellent at,” Linden said. “I would like to congratulate the ladies and I do hope to see them at this same event next year, perhaps the men will have learnt something about communication by then!”

The runner up team was led by Ericsson’s Byron Candel and Tim Chessari, Orange-Telkom’s John Conlan and Annette Martyres; they posted 39 team points.

The men winner was Airtel’s Tom Indimuli with an excellent score of 41 points whilst Muthaiga’s Sam Mwangi was the runner up with 39 points beating Njee Muturi on count-back.
