Kenya Commercial Bank golfer, Ibrahim Lande fired 43 stableford points to win the Atlancis sponsored 2018 Inter-Banks golf tournament held at the Par 72 Vet Lab Sports Club.
Playing off handicap 29, Lande who is KCB’s Platinum Relations Manager shot 19 in the front nine and 24 in the back nine to clinch this year’s overall trophy. To top it all up, Lande savored a rare double when he led a three-man KCB outfit comprising of Simon Bett (handicap 12) and Timothy Kuria (handicap 36) to the team title.
Lande was all smiles after his victory. “I am delighted with the result today. I was playing for handicap and not the prize as I have always wanted to lower it,” he revealed. “I will continue to improve my shot game as my swing is closer to where I want it to be,” he continued. Lande concluded by thanking his employer for giving him and the rest of the team some time off work every Friday to practice.
