MBABANE – The Mbabane Golf Club will tomorrow re-open after being closed for
almost a week.
The club was closed last week Wednesday due to maintenance. It was closed when
two major tournaments were supposed to be staged last week. These are the Leg of
Lamb and Eswatini Royal Insurance Corporation (ESRIC) Monthly Mug which were
supposed to be staged last week  Friday and Saturday respectively.
Mbabane Golf Club Captain Kenneth Nkambule confirmed the reopening of the club.
“As we had highlighted that the club would be closed and be reopened this
Friday. Tomorrow at noon it will be tee-off time for the weekly Leg of Lamb
tournament which was stopped because of the wet weather the previous time,” he
said.
He also highlighted that on Saturday they would host the monthly MTN Masters
competition.
“This competition will be played in a Bingo Bango Bongo format. It is very
interesting. Tee-off time is 7am for a morning field and 11am for the second
batch of golfers. There are lots of prizes to be won. We already have a full
field (64 golfers).The registration was closed eight hours after it was opened.
The interest in this tournament is very encouraging and we wish they would show
the same interest in other tournaments too,” he said.
Two weeks ago, the Leg of Lamb was cancelled due to the waterlogging after some
torrential downpour. The ESRIC Monthly Mug had to be cancelled midway after the
mist got heavy.
The previous winner of the Leg of Lamb was Sibusiso ‘Swazi-Tiger Woods’
Ndzabandzaba while the MTN Masters champions were Dumsani Msibi and Robinson
Hlophe.
