Uyo Daily Trust Golf Tournament Draws Over 120 Players

Over 120 players have registered for the one-day Daily Trust golf tournament billed for Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

The golf tournament, which is being organised by the media organisation, is generating interest among golf stakeholders in the public and private sectors.

Part of the excitement about the one-day tournament, scheduled to hold on Saturday, December 4, at the 18-hole Ibom Golf Course in Uyo, is the mouth-watering offer of a return ticket for a golfing weekend in Kigali, the Rwandan capital, for the top winners in the men and ladies’ categories.

According to the General Manager, Business and Strategy, Daily Trust, Ahmed Shekarau, the tournament will attract the crème of Nigeria’s golf players, captains of industry and special guests for a weekend of exciting golf while promoting national unity.

“We made the conscious decision to promote the game of golf through the Daily Trust Golf Tournament because golf’s growing popularity among Nigeria’s prime movers has elevated the sport to a strategic meeting point for the elite class,” Shekarau said.
