“As a number one private bank, we reaffirm our pledge to our long -term support for the sport of golf for the many more years to come. We want to make the Stanbic monthly mug Challenge 2024 worth the feel. At Stanbic operate under our purpose, Uganda is our Home, we drive her growth. If I may turn this to this great sport, Golf is our game, We drive its growth.” Arinaitwe said emphasizing that Stanbic is not at the golf club just to support, but instead to grow the game.
Charles Kareba, a veteran golfer and member of the Uganda Golf Club Board of Trustees described the monthly Mug challenge as the bread and butter of any amateur golf club in the world.
“This is the only competition where we people play thirteen times in a year because we have then twelve mugs, and then the one we call Mug of Mugs. In the Mug of Mugs, all the winners come together in order to establish the overall winner. I call it the bread and butter because its precious in terms of revenue, the game of golf and in terms of the social side.” Kareba said.

Kareba said seeing partners like Stanbic investing in golf year in year out is a great feeling everything on the course emanates from the Monthly Mug Challenge.
“The corporates can give you a competition once a year, the open happens once a year too, therefore we hold the monthly mug in high esteem because it gives us an opportunity to compete and get motivated. And if you have never won a monthly mug, you don’t talk among golfers that you have achieved much. You could have won the Uganda Open but without any Mug, in the tradition of golf, the mug is the competition to die for.” Kareba said.
Speaking shortly after being announced the overall player, Drani Bob who pulled 63net attributed his triumph to his skill set and the company of gallant men he played with.
“Today is a great day, its been awhile without winning but today, here I’m leading the entire month. This month’s Mug challenge was very inspiring and gave him zeal to keep pushing on both on the frontline and backline.” Drani said adding that even those still having awards drought, the rain will come one.
The tournament returns next month with Stanbic Mug of April at the Uganda golf club.
