WITH 10 days in the count down to the much anticipated East and Central Africa All Africa Challenge Trophy, the Tanzania Ladies Golf Union (TLGU) has urged lady golfers in the entirety to register their commitment to the national team.
Mbonile Burton, the union’s president, told the ‘Daily News’ in Dar es Salaam that it was imperative for any player to heed a call to play for the country.
Burton noted that representing the country in a regional or international event must sound something special to the particular player and therefore all rules and regulations must be adhered to the latter.
The statement comes with the clock ticking tenderly towards the 2011 edition of the regional competition at the TPDF Lugalo Golf Course on August 15 through 19, to be succeeded by the tee off of the Tanzania Ladies Open Tournament 2011 season.
Tanzania is the reigning champion of the event and already four players have been named to play to retain the trophy. They are team captain and fairway maestro Madina Iddi and long hitting Hawa Wanyeche.
Others include ‘run-away’ duo Ayne Magombe and cheerful swinger Angel Eaton, who are in the Kenyan Coastal town of Mombasa, competing at the Coastal Open championship.
Magombe and Eaton are reportedly holding the ladies national team at ransom after they disappeared from the team’s camp at Lugalo Golf Course without a word only to reappear in Mombasa by text message.
Mbonile said: “Unfortunately we have only a few players that we must collectively work towards improving their performance. That’s why we are investing a lot towards their particular well being.
We would really want to have all in one camp and have them become used to the grounds at Lugalo.”
Meanwhile, the TLGU president has called for more support from the public, saying preparations towards the regional event were being negatively impacted by lack of funds.
She named the few sponsors already listed as Precision Air, Tanzania Breweries Limited, HoldTrade and BQ Contractors; but singled out the Yellow Pages and the Michocheni Lodge for their contribution towards the team’s preparation.
Burton said: “Preparations are in top gear. However, we are still behind schedule when it comes to raising enough funds for the event. I want to take this opportunity to call upon prospective sponsors to come out and list their support to our team.”
