By CORRESPONDENT
Safaricom will provide networked computers and unlimited internet connectivity at the venue for this year’s Barclays Kenya Open Golf Championships, the Karen Golf and Country club.
This is geared towards facilitating local and international media as well as officials from the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) who will be relaying news and results to an international audience.
Speaking during the event, Safaricom’s Head of Enterprise sales and retention Tonny Tugee said “Safaricom is honored to be making a comeback to the Barclays Kenya Open, as a Gold Sponsor which is the premier Golfing Event in East Africa.
He noted that the tournament has provided an opportunity for renewal and development of golfing skills, and initiation of new acquaintances while renewing old ones.
This is the 7th year that the Karen Country Club plays host to Kenya’s premier golf event.
In its 45th Year, Barclays Kenya Open, is part of the European Golf Tour and it enjoys a high level of visibility globally. Several local and international players will be gunning for the top prizes and a chance to play in the European PGA.
Kenya’s association with the European Challenge is now over four decades old with the 45th edition in 2014 albeit not at the same venue. cheap air max 97 cheap air max 97
