DAR ES SALAAM: SEA Cliff Resort & Spa Golf Club will resume its monthly golf competition on October 31, with golfers expected to compete in an 18-hole Stableford Challenge after a busy September that saw the club host the prestigious CEOs Luxury Retreat Golf Tournament.

Club Manager, Sophie Nyanjera, said preparations for the October Challenge were in full swing, with the club inviting golfers to register for the event.

“We had a very busy September and could not host the challenge,”

Nyanjera said, explaining the return of the monthly competition. Entry is set at 53 US dollars per player, covering green fees, a golf cart, driving range practice and lunch according to hosts.

She noted that the tournament is supported by Sea Cliff Resort & Spa, Villa Kiva, Zanzi Resort, United Petroleum and Auric Air.

Nyanjera has appealed to golfers to turn out in large numbers, expressing confidence that the event will provide another enjoyable day of competition, particularly with the course in good condition and ready to welcome players.

The September programme included the CEOs Luxury Retreat Golf Tournament, which successfully brought together golfers from eight countries, highlighting Zanzibar’s growing appeal as a destination for golf tourism.

Greg Eayrs, who won the last monthly challenge in August, will be among the previous winners setting the benchmark for the returning competition.

He claimed the August 29 title with 38 Stableford points, finishing two points ahead of Club Captain Tazio Bercelli, who scored 36. Kazim Suleiman finished third with 28 points, while Imran Niskala placed fourth on 27 points. Eayrs also won the Nearest to Pin prize, while Suleiman took the Longest Drive award.
