admincontinue his fine form.
Nguru believes Mketekete’s fine form will lead him to another victory when the Joshua Nkomo Memorial Classic tees off this morning.
“Mketekete’s fine form is something which is not debatable. The guy is playing good golf and I can see him winning again.
“The golfer is doing good considering his ten under 62 at the last tournament.
“It is good that we have competitive players like Tongo Charamba, Phillip Tshuma, Peter Banda, Robson Saurombe among others who can push him all the way.
“I laughed out with that performance he had at Borrowdale Brooke as it reminded me of how Ali Abbas Mawji failed to turn up for the second round after he shot the same score as an amateur in 2005.
“Mawji felt that he was too good for the professionals he was playing against with the likes of the late Nasho Kamungeremu shooting a 69 which was the best for the professionals.
“I believe this is going to be an exciting tournament and I urge my colleagues to play well and wish them all the best.
Nguru is looking forward to come back to the field of play next season and play competitively.
“I am looking forward to come back next year only and play competitively and them I will hang my clubs,” Nguru said.
The former Falcon Golf Club member has not been seeing action for close to three years now but his son Clive Junior is the top amateur.
The major highlight of the tournament, however, will be the participation of the country’s leading woman golfer Claire Minter.
Minter has virtually run out of competition from the local championship division and has moved into the male field.
Minter will be looking forward to writing her own piece of history as the first woman in Zimbabwe (probably in Africa too) to slug it out with the men for the coveted trophy.
The tournament has a purse of US$35 000.
