Fiji Golf sponsorship chairman Mohammed Buksh says they are expecting around 100 participants to compete at their weekly golf tournament this weekend.

With the tee-off set at 8 am, Buksh says they are hoping for clear skies throughout the day, following the rainy weather in the capital city earlier this week.

He also mentions that there will be a junior grade as well in the tournament, where they are expecting a total of 15 participants to come forward to display their golfing skills.

“We are looking at about 100 players. The tee-off starts at 8 am while the last tee-off is at 1.30 pm with a $20 entry fee for Saturday’s comp. We hope the weather will be good and we are looking at about 100 players.”

The Merchants Finance Golf Tournament will be held on Saturday at the Fiji Golf Club in Suva.
