On Saturday most amateurs are travelling to Manicaland to take part in yet another national tournament to be held at Leopard Rock Golf Club this month, the men’s Manicaland Province Golf Union amateur championship. Last week the same club hosted the Zimbabwe Ladies Golf Union Manicaland stroke play. This weekend’s tournament will be played in three divisions.
The Championship A Division and B Division will be playing a medal game format on 36 holes on Saturday and 18 holes on Sunday while the C Division will be playing Stableford on 18 holes Saturday and Sunday.
This is a very important tournament for the amateurs as it counts towards the national amateurs’ order of merit points.
The last points game was played in Bulawayo, the Matabeleland Amateur Championship last month and was won by Clive Nguru. It remains to be seen if he would maintain his form at this mountainous championship course.
The defending champion shall also be fighting to maintain his title as the champion of Manicaland.
