In the ladies category, Arnes Araujo won the title with Teri Amaro finished on second position.

Prominent lawyer John Gift Makhwawa won nearest to the pin on hole number one while Chidale also got longest drive on hole number six.

Outgoing captain Justice John Katsala applauded PIM for sponsoring the tournament at short notice.

"We had 55 golfers which is a good number. We thank PIM for this sponsorship," Justice Katsala said.

PIM marketing manager Nyankhoko Nsona thanked the golfers and BSC committee for making the tournament successful.

Nsona, who is also a golfer, said the participants had fun.

PIM managing director Symon Itai said the idea to sponsor the ball pool was hatched last week after the company learnt that there was no one to sponsor the competition this week.
