Golfers face tricky course in FNBB tiurney

SELEBI-PHIKWE: Golfers are expected to contend with a tricky Francistown golf course when they play in the annual First National Bank Botswana (FNBB) Northern Open tomorrow.

A field of 60 golfers will tee-off in what is expected to be fine weather conditions. The bank has sponsored the tournament for more than P55,000.

One of the tournament's organisers, Coin Ntabe said this year's edition should be the biggest ever. He said golfers should expect tough conditions at the Francistown Golf Club.  "Francistown golf course is one of the toughest in the country. You can play well and only one shot can mess everything up for you. If you get out of the fairway due to wind, you will be punished," he said. Francistown golfer, Peter Podise, is expected to use home ground advantage to cruise to victory. The much experienced Podise is among the favourites.
