NOBUHLE IN E750 000 ZAMBIA TOURNAMENT

MBABANE – Professional golfer, Nobuhle Dlamini, is set to fight for a share of E750 000 in the inaugural Zambia Ladies Open Championship next week.

According to a report from Women Professional Golf Association (WPGA) website, Dlamini will be expected to be joined by South Africa’s top professionals and amateurs as they showcase their talents at the Ndola Golf Club from Friday to Sunday next week.
Zambia Ladies Golf Union President Moona Mwila, confirmed the latest developments.

“The Zambia Ladies Open Championship is a true celebration of women’s golf in Southern Africa and the realisation of a dream for women’s golf in Zambia,” Mwila said. “Not only does the tournament celebrate the first-ever women’s professional championship in Zambia, but we are very proud that it coincides with our 50-year jubilee. We are extremely excited to welcome our visitors to share in this historic landmark occasion for women’s golf in Zambia.” WPGA Chairperson Margie Whitehouse said the WPGA strived to establish a competitive platform for professional women’s golf in South Africa, but also held a firm vision of expanding the game in Southern Africa. “The return of the South African Women’s Open in 2012 sparked a wonderful revival for us,” Whitehouse said.

A field of 51 players from 13 countries will contest the 54-hole stroke play event. Dlamini will also rub shoulders with amateurs from Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Botswana and Uganda.
Dlamini turned professional in December last year. Her eagerly awaited debut has been in the ongoing Sunshine Tour where she is having mixed fortunes. She has maintained a top finish in the Tour comprising of six tournaments with a purse of E100 000 apiece.
