MTN Uganda, together with the Entebbe Club, concluded the MTN Monthly Tees golf tournament today. This mid-season special version is called the MTN Tee of Tees. Under the captivating theme “It’s Par-tee Time,” the MTN Tee of Tees came alive with a spectacular celebration of golf, music, and camaraderie.
The event brought together over 180 passionate golfers who showcased their skills as they compete for the prestigious MTN Grand Tee of Tees title, due in December. The eventual winners will be drawn from the aggregated scores over the course of the year in the monthly tee tournaments hosted at Entebbe club, and sponsored by MTN and partners.
Players in the MTN Tee of Tees had the exciting opportunity to compete for trophies and a variety of fantastic prizes from MTN and partners Huawei including Huawei smart monitors, tablets, smartphones, smartwatches, and MTN WakaNet routers, fully bundled with MTN data. Winners in the hilariously entertaining Entebbe Ewooma choir challenge also received a special reward of 22GB of data, for each member in the winning team.
