More than 130 Ugandan golfers are expected in Kenya for Season Two of the I&M Bank Katogo Golf Series Migingo Skirmishes at Limuru Country Club.
The golfers travelled from Uganda on Saturday, October 31, representing Entebbe Club, Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa, Uganda Golf Club and Marylouise Simkins Memorial Golf Club in Namulonge.
The tournament is the fourth cross-border event under the I&M Bank Katogo Golf Series, following previous editions at Limuru Country Club, Kigali Golf Resort and Villas, and Entebbe Club.
The competition, named Migingo Skirmishes, draws inspiration from Migingo Island on Lake Victoria, which is shared by fishing communities from Uganda and Kenya.
Katogo captain Elly Mukasa said the cross-border tournaments have become some of the most anticipated events on the series calendar, providing golfers with opportunities to compete and build relationships across the region.
Uganda won the most recent edition held at Entebbe Club, but Katogo Golf chairman Kibuuka said the series also aims to strengthen regional relationships beyond the competition.
I&M Bank Uganda Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications Annette Nakiyaga said the bank would facilitate the travelling golfers through its Multi-Currency Prepaid Card, which supports transactions in currencies including the Kenyan shilling and US dollar.
The tournament will conclude with a denim-and-white themed 19th-hole experience featuring Ugandan and Kenyan cuisine, music and entertainment.
The event is supported by East African Breweries Limited, Nairobi Serena, UDV, RwandAir, Aquafina, NBS Sport and Fenon.
