“I wish to congratulate and appreciate BOVAS and Company Ltd, sponsors of this tournament for their immense contributions towards the growth of the game in general and for the generous support to the Tiger Golf Club in particular.
“TGC has continued to attract large patronage from far and near, it is therefore my earnest belief that BOVAS will continue with their sponsorship of this tournament.
“I understand that as the General Officer Commanding 2 Division, I am also the Patron of TGC, the huge responsibilities of this position are clear to me. In this regard, I assure you all that 2 Division will continue to support and promote initiatives that will promote the game of golf and the sustenance of a conducive atmosphere for its advancement in TGC,” Abdulkarim said.
Meanwhile, in his address, the Captain of the club, Dr John Dongo commended the effort of BOVAS over its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS).
