Lina PG Tour revitalises golf vibes in Moshi

MOSHI, KILIMANJARO: THE Lina Professional Golfers (PG) Tour Pro-Am tournament has revitalised the once dormant and dry golf course at Moshi Club, transforming it into a lively and inviting venue.

Yasmin Chali, Director of the Lina PG Tour, emphasised the remarkable improvements at the club, noting a resurgence of activity and enthusiasm among golfers and visitors alike.

The course, once dry and uninviting, has now become lush and green, especially noticeable by the tournament’s second day.

Chali described this transformation as a “huge blessing.”

The Lina PG Tour has not only revitalised the Moshi Club’s golf course but has also reignited the tournament’s energy following several years of inactivity.

The situation is not the same now with Lina PG Tour taking the helm of its rejuvenation initiative to now a hub of excitement and competition.

“This event has truly brought new life to the Moshi course and it’s a blessing, especially as we celebrate Lina Nkya, whose contributions to the development of ladies’ golf in Tanzania started right here,” Chali explained.

The Lina PG Tour has attracted golfers from various clubs across the country.

This five-series golf showdown welcomes professional, elite, and amateur players, creating a dynamic mix of talent.

The first series, held at TPC Club in Moshi, saw Nuru Mollel from Arusha Gymkhana Club triumph in the professional category, while Ally Isanzu from TPC Club claimed the amateur title.

In April, the second series took place at Morogoro Gymkhana Club.

Hassan Kadio emerged as the top professional, while Isanzu continued his dominance by winning the amateur category once again.

The third round, hosted at Arusha Gymkhana Club (AGC), provided fresh excitement as it welcomed new faces to the winners’ podium.
