Serena Club Professional Boniface Simwa has reassured players who are yet to tee off that there is still time for them to catch up.
“Many participants have already played numerous rounds, demonstrating their dedication and passion for the sport. We acknowledge the various commitments and potential travel constraints some players might have, but call upon them to start playing as soon as possible,” he said.
