Speaking to Taarifa News, Muthaiga Golf Club Chairman Ronal Meru thanked KGU and other stakeholders for their support toward ensuring the success of the event.
“We take this opportunity to thank the Kenya Golf Union, for their contribution to supporting this event both in terms of resources and personnel. Equally, we acknowledge our magnanimous partners, who have walked with us namely, The Kibaki Family, G4S, Mansions Real Estate & Hue Marketing/ Krupus Coffee,” he stated.
This is expected to be an annual event and has also been sanctioned by the Kenya Golf Union.
Former President the late Mwai Kibaki, will be remembered through the event as for many years served as the Patron of the Kenya Golf Union, and an ardent golfer played a very critical role in the development of golf.
Muthaiga Golf Club being the Home of Golf and housing the Kenya Golf Union, chose to immortalize H.E. Kibaki’s legacy by organizing a three (3) day interclub golf tournament dubbed The Patron’s Cup.
