LOCAL golf clubs have said they are ready to host their first major tournament in more than a year when they host the Club Champion of Champions this weekend.
The two-day 36-holes competition will be played by all golf clubs this Saturday and Sunday and has been cleared by the Zimbabwe Golf Association.
The Club Championship will cater for three divisions from C Division which caters for 24-36 handicap, B Division from 12-24 handicap and the Championship Division from 0-12 handicap.
Royal Harare’s Louise Ward said they were ready for the tournament as their course is in a fantastic condition to host an international tournament at any given time.
“We have been preparing for this event and we are looking forward to it. The players are ready and they had some practice rounds on Thursday and today.
“The green keepers have worked hard for this tournament and players are geared up as we are oversubscribed with 187 players committing themselves,” said Ward.
