The second quarterly TNM-sponsored ladies’ golf tournament tees off tomorrow at Blantyre Sports Club (BSC) with 50 golfers expected in action.
Early this year, the mobile and ICT service provider unveiled a K3 million sponsorship package to BSC Ladies’ Golf Section to enable the women golfers host quarterly tournaments.
BSC Lady Golf captain, Connie Muguvu-Karuku, said the tournament would increase awareness about the progress of ladies’ professional golf.
“This is the second tournament from the tri-tourney for ladies sponsored by TNM. Men are invited to play as usual. We expect this tournament to increase awareness and confidence about ladies golf. Malawi can have absolute ladies` tournaments, it is possible,“ Karuku said while thanking TNM for the support.
“The BSC ladies` section has grown by nine members since this sponsorship was unveiled. Ladies now have faith in the ladies` competitions and the section continues to attract new members. Junior girls are increasing in numbers as well.”
TNM Public Relations and Sponsorship Manager, Limbani Nsapato, said they were happy to contribute towards the development of ladies’ golf.
“TNM, as a Malawian company, is always committed to supporting sporting disciplines in the country. We are very happy that the sponsorship is living up to its objectives of growing ladies golf in Malawi,” Nsapato said.
The tournament will be played on medal and individual stableford formats for ladies and men respectively. The third and final tournament will be played in October.
