The Kenya Airways Golf Series resumes at the Nyeri Golf Club on Saturday with its first event of 2012, where a large field of participants is expected to feature.
The event with the theme ‘Fly and Drive’ will see competitors battle for different honours and a ticket to the grand finals in Nairobi next month.
This year’s Kenya Airways Golf Safari was sponsored to a tune of Sh15, 000 million and will have witnessed 35 rounds by the time of the grand final, 24 events more than the previous events where the series was only played over 11 rounds.
The third edition of the event has also for the first time witnessed the series go out of the continent as two events are planned for Bangkok, Thailand and Guanzhou, China, where the flight goes to.
Other countries that the tournament visited are Egypt, Cameroon, Ghana, Cote D’Ivore, Senegal, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Sechelles, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania.
During the tournament, the airline has been offering packages that tour operators can use to promote Kenya as a super golf destination. air max 95 air max 95
