Colonel Chikunkha Soko came second. He bagged 37 points while Semu Chaula was third with 35 points.

Completing the list of winners was Mike Kalulu. In other awards, Ash Godambe was handed the nearest to the pin accolade while Cosmas Mwenewawo won the longest drive in men’s race.

Sandra Komakech was crowned champion in the ladies category after netting 33 points while Joshbed Mpanga, who also netted 33, came second after being counted out.

Ruth Mvula won the nearest to the pin accolade while Maina Mkandawire got the longest drive award.

Nico General chief executive officer (CEO) Eric Chapola said he was impressed with the golfers’ turnout.

Chapola also pledged that the company will sponsor the tournament next year.
