Gabriel Kambale, Teri Amaru win Masm ballpool
Golf Union of Malawi president Gabriel Kambale underlined his credentials after winning the Masm Ballpool at Blantyre Sports Club (BSC) on Wednesday.
In men’s section, Kambale posted 21 points to emerge champion and was followed by Dr. Adril Guarino on second with 20 stable-ford points.
Guarino counted out budding golfer Gilton Chiwawula who finished third after collecting the same number of points.
In ladies section, Teri Amaru emerged victorious after posting 14 points counting out Roza Mbilizi who settled for second position.
In individual awards, Justice John Katsala won the nearest to the pin on hole 12 while Medson Kalambule the longest drive on hit hole 13.
Hilda Wheelright made the longest drive on hole number 17 in ladies section.
The men’s champion, Kambale, said he was delighted to win the competition.
“I started playing well on hole number one and I just kept the fire burning. When I was on hole number six, which is also hole number 15, I realized that I could win.
Kambale, while hailing his playing partners, said it was not easy to win but as a serious golfer he took advantage of his form.
Medical Aid Society of Malawi (Masm) chief commercial officer, Andrew Ngomwa, said they felt it necessary to sponsor the golf competition because Masm “was about people and for the people”.
“Most of golf players are our members. We felt we needed to step in because the club [BSC] was struggling without sponsorship,” he said.
Ngomwa also urged golfers and the nation at large to embrace Masm services.
BSC golf captain, John Gift Mwakhwawa, said the turnout was impressive after 42 golfers took part in men’s section while four participated in women’s section.
“We thank Masm for supporting ballpool. It is not easy to get sponsorships these days,” he said
