This is the maiden edition. It will continue in June on the last Friday of the month. So far, around 30 golfers, both locals and expatriates, have confirmed their participation in the tournament. This is very good considering the fact that is the first edition, Nsabimana said. There will be an award ceremony to honor participants who had the longest drive, nearest to the pin, Handicap 0-18 winner and runners up as well as Handicap 0-30 winner and runners up.
