More than 200 golfers, from seasoned competitors to ambitious newcomers, took to the fairways over two thrilling days of competition, culminating in an elegant prize-giving dinner hosted at the all-new Mövenpick Hotel Kigali and co-sponsored by Johny Walker. It was an evening defined by class, camaraderie, fine dining, great drinks and applause for excellence, both on the greens and beyond.
The tournament brought together the region's top talent, producing some of the year's most impressive performances. Jenny Linda, who captured the Best Gross Score Ladies title, dazzled with consistency and composure, while Mukisa Benjamin earned Best Gross Score Men honours after a brilliant round that demonstrated poise under pressure.
Among the seniors, David Rwiyamirira proved that age and experience are a formidable combination, taking the Best Gross Score Seniors title.
The men's divisions were equally competitive, from David Nzioki's masterful play in Division A to Rwigamba Paul's dominance in Division B and Ndabarasa Alfred's steady rise to victory in Division C. On the women's side, Irene Wanjiku, Sheetal Philip, and Eve Tushabe continued to showcase the growing strength of women's golf in Rwanda, each delivering rounds that balanced power with precision.
Beyond the individual victories, the event underscored a bigger story, one of growth, inclusion, and ambition for Rwandan golf. With every edition, the level of play has risen remarkably, signalling a sport in transformation and a community finding its rhythm on the regional stage.
Speaking at the prize-giving ceremony, Maurice Toroitich, Managing Director of NCBA Bank Rwanda, reaffirmed the bank's commitment to nurturing this momentum.
'We're proud to walk this journey with the golf community, to support not only tournaments but the businesses that take shape beyond the course. NCBA is here for more than sport; we are here for partnership, for progress, and for possibility.'
As the night ended with laughter, toasts, and plans for next year's series, one message rang clear: The NCBA Golf Series is now firmly embedded as one of the most anticipated golf events in the country. It was a celebration of shared values: excellence, resilience, and vision. And as NCBA continues to drive both business and sport forward, the future of Rwandan golf looks not only bright but truly boundless.
