PENNINGTON TEES OFF IN BETWAY BIG EASY TOUR

MBABANE – Eswatini professional golfer James Pennington is poised to commence his journey in the prestigious Betway Big Easy Tour today.

The inaugural event of the new season is scheduled to unfold at the illustrious Benoni Country Club, spanning from today until June 27.

My game is honed to perfection, and I eagerly anticipate the upcoming months filled with exhilarating golf events. The unwavering belief of Eswatini Royal Insurance Corporation (ESRIC) in my abilities has made this endeavour possible, and for that, I am profoundly grateful to them and the Eswatini Professional Golf Association (EPGA) for their relentless dedication,” expressed Pennington.
