CELTEL Uganda has made a return to golf sponsorship with the BlackBerry Corporate tournament due on Friday. Celtel formerly sponsored the Monthly Mug events at Uganda Golf Club, Kitante in 2005.
The telecommunications company last week launched the tournament that will feature leading golfers from various companies.
“We chose golf because most of our customers are attached to the sport. We will fully return to golf when we are ready,†Celtel’s corporate sales manager Fred Masadde stated at the launch.
The competition will be held a month after Celtel became the first company to provide BlackBerry services in Uganda.
“The tournament further emphasises the multi functional benefits of the BlackBerry,†Masadde remarked.
The BlackBerry facility allows celtel subscribers to receive e-mail and a range of other services on their sets 24 hours a day. The stableford event has attracted over 100 golfers.
The competition will take a short gun tee off at 12pm on the 18- hole course.
The prize presentation will be held in the evening.
