“The Serena 63 Series is now one of the most sought-after events at the club, at least going by the massive response from golfers. We have tens of players that have already put in over 20 rounds, which increases their chances at emerging winners in the series,” he said, adding that they expect most of the series’ participants, as well as other golfers to take part in the subsidiary event this Saturday.

Participants in this year’s Serena 63 series stand a chance to win a grand prize worth USh 40m, which includes an exclusive annual golf membership at Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa.

With the stakes higher than ever, golfers eagerly anticipate the awards session, where top performers will be taking home outstanding prizes from the event sponsor I&M Bank, as well as Serena Hotels.

Annette Nakiyaga, the Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at I&M Bank Uganda, shared her excitement about the golfing action that awaits the Serena greens this Saturday.

“As we get ready to celebrate the achievements of our golfers, we’re proud to support an event that not only celebrates sporting excellence, but also builds community, strengthens bonds, and fosters lasting friendships.”

I&M Bank will provide special perks for top-performing golfers. Top on the list of the bank’s offer is a fully sponsored trip for the five overall winners of the series to take part in the esteemed I&M Invitational Golf Tournament in Kenya early next year.
