It was an evening defined by class, camaraderie, fine dining, great drinks and applause for excellence, both on the greens and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>The tournament brought together the region\u2019s top talent, producing some of the year\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n<p>Among the seniors, David Rwiyamirira proved that age and experience are a formidable combination, taking the Best Gross Score Seniors title.<\/p>\n<p>The men\u2019s divisions were equally competitive, from David Nzioki\u2019s masterful play in Division A to Rwigamba Paul\u2019s dominance in Division B and Ndabarasa Alfred\u2019s steady rise to victory in Division C. On the women\u2019s side, Irene Wanjiku, Sheetal Philip, and Eve Tushabe continued to showcase the growing strength of women\u2019s golf in Rwanda, each delivering rounds that balanced power with precision.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the prize-giving ceremony, Maurice Toroitich, Managing Director of NCBA Bank Rwanda, reaffirmed the bank\u2019s commitment to nurturing this momentum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the night ended with laughter, toasts, and plans for next year\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-97185 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ncba_48new.jpg\" alt=\"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 M\u00f6venpick Hotel Kigali and co-sponsored by Johny Walker. \" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-97190 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/whatsappimage2025-11-03at13.45_50.jpg\" alt=\"The tournament brought together the region\u2019s top talent, producing some of the year\u2019s most impressive performances.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-97189 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/whatsappimage2025-11-03at13.45.49-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-97188 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ncba_21new.jpg\" alt=\"Beyond the individual victories, the event underscored a bigger story, one of growth, inclusion, and ambition for Rwandan golf. \" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-97187 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ncba_25new.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-97186 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ncba_36_1_new.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-97184 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ncba_52new.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-97183 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ncba_49new.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025 NCBA Golf Series came to a glamorous close at Kigali Golf Resort &#038;
