In a bid to promote golf at the lower level, Nkana Golf Club has expanded the Primary Schools Golf Championship it started with two schools just three years ago.
This week has seen six schools competing for honours on the prestigious Nkana Golf Course.
Scores of youngsters from Lechwe, Mopani Trust, St. John’s Convent, Green View, Blueberry and Cradle to Crayon turned up for the expanded End of Term Schools Golf Championship at Nkana Golf Club in Kitwe.
This is part of the junior golf programme by Nkana Golf Club with support from IRH managed Mopani Copper Mines and the Zambia Golf Union.
Sylvia Kaunda, the Nkana Golf Club Events Marketing and Public Relations Coordinator, is pleased with the growth of the school’s championship.
”Nkana Golf Club is very passionate about junior golf,” Kaunda told journalists in Kitwe.
”This tournament is our baby here at Nkana Golf Club,” she said.
Lechwe emerged champions with newcomers Cradle to Crayon making a big statement by finishing second.
Nkana golfer David Michelo Mensah, who watched the children, saluted the just concluded End of Terms Schools Golf Tournament at Nkana Golf Club in Kitwe.
Mensah says golf helps to instil discipline in children.
He thanked schools for driving this school’s junior golf championship.
Great move indeed All sports bring unity and discipline apart from football maybe
