The Serena 63 Golf Series is set for the final outing of the season slated for this Saturday, November 30 at the Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa, Kigo.

Now in its second year, the series will recognize and award the top overall performers of the season at the 19th-hole prize-giving dinner.

Boniface Ssimwa, the Serena Golf Pro, said the finale is expected to register a bigger turn-up considering it’s the season-ender.

“We’re excited that the 2024 season is coming to an end this Saturday. It’s been an incredible journey, and we expect to wrap up the season with a great turnout,” Ssimwa said.

The Serena 63 Series season finale will be played under the Stableford, full handicap format, and will feature 63 subsidiary players (both 63 Series participants and non-63 Series participants), with the top three from each category eligible for prizes at the 19th hole.

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

Top performers are also assured of outstanding prizes from event sponsors I&M Bank and Serena Hotels.

Annette Nakiyaga, Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at I&M Bank Uganda, said they are looking forward to a thrilling season finale, characterized by fierce competition, as golfers compete for top honours.

“We are glad to have successfully reached the end of the second season of the Serena 63 series. We are proud to witness the series grow in many aspects, and as a partner, this motivates us to continue supporting the game of golf in Uganda.

“We’re proud to be part of an event that not only celebrates sporting excellence, but also builds community, strengthens bonds, and creates lasting friendships,” Nakiyaga said.

I&M Bank will provide special perks for top-performing golfers this Saturday. 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.
