The Eisenhower Trophy, as the Men’s WATC is known, tees off on Wednesday morning at Tanah Merah Country Club in Singapore. Speaking from Singapore, Gandawa said the team had done their utmost to prepare thoroughly, including gathering course information and reaching out to some of Zimbabwe’s top professional golfers, brothers Scott and Kieran Vincent. “We're here in Singapore for the WATC with a young team, all participating for the first time and it’s an opportunity for them to learn more from this global showpiece. We tried by all means to do much research and seek as much information as possible. Being of national interest, we have tried to gather as much information on how to approach this course including the wisdom from the Vincent brothers, Scott and Kieran who play on the Asian Tour and have played this course before,” said Gandawa. He added that the players are in high spirits and ready for the task ahead. “This is over and above the practice rounds that we have put in as a team. Weather conditions; we had no choice but to adapt quickly to scorching temperatures and high humidity. Otherwise, the boys are in high spirits and raring to go,” he said. The Zimbabwean team is under the tutelage of Simon Murungweni.
