MTN’s Celebrity Spoons golf enters second season on Saturday

*The MTN Celebrity Spoons golf tournament returns to the Celebrity Golf Club in Tema on Saturday with the commencement of the second season after the winners of the first season are rewarded with mouth-watering prizes. *

Prizes cast in the mould of a spoon as well as MTN souvenirs will go to the winners of the first season which ended on May 7 having run for close to three months.

The Celebrity Spoons Match Play is a competitive knock out golf tournament played in pairs and at the convenience of the players runs every quarter all year round as part of a three-year partnership between MTN and the Celebrity Golf Club.

“We expect that more people will come for the second season which will be even more exciting and attractive. We see it as an avenue to building relationships with our subscribers who are highly valued by us, most of whom are lovers of this premium sport,” Sakyi Opoku, of MTN Corporate Segment of Marketing told *SportsInGhana.com* via phone yesterday.

MTN Ghana’s association with golf dates back to 2008 when the Telecom giant organized the maiden edition of the MTN Invitational Golf Tournament at the Achimota Golf Club which has been followed by tournaments in 2009 and 2010.

MTN have also sponsored the 75th anniversary celebrations of Achimota Golf Club as well as the Asantehene Gold Cup Golf Tournament in Kumasi over the last three years, the latest of which was splendidly organized with attractive prizes barely two weeks ago at the Royal Golf Club.
