Ladies Coast Open
The fifth and final round of the week-long Ladies Coast Open Tournament was held at the Vipingo Ridge PGA Baobab course on Saturday 30th July.
130 ladies teed-off as early as 0700, the weather was fine, sunny but cool and the course in excellent shape. The players’ good scores would later reflect the perfect conditions.
Our very own Naomi Wafula, the PGA Academy’s star student, was the day’s Scratch winner, winning not only the Vipingo Ridge Trophy but also the Overall Trophy for the Tournament. Well done Naomi!
The prize-winners received beautiful gifts, locally sourced, emphasising Neptune Hotel’s support, not only for Women’s golf but for women’s industry in Kenya too.
The players and guests were treated to a sumptuous lunch at The Sundowner and the resident DJ provided the lovely music and ambiance.
Vipingo Ridge thanks Neptune Hotels for their generous sponsorship of the event and is looking forward to welcoming the ladies back next year.
