Some of the parents and their little ones having a blast together during the Parent-Child Golf Tournament at Uganda Golf Club
NCBA Bank Uganda hosted its inaugural Parent and Child Golf Tournament at the Uganda Golf Club, bringing together parents and their aspiring young golfers for a memorable fun day filled with friendly competition, skill-sharing, and quality family bonding on the greens.
The tournament featured mixed teams of parents and children competing and encouraging each other to strategize and play collaboratively, deepening their relationships both on and off the course.
With over 50 parent-child duos, the event went beyond the competition itself, as players enjoyed engaging short-game challenges, and a wide range of prizes, including trophies, premium golf gear, vouchers, and gift hampers.
The bank’s CEO, Mark Muyobo, said the inaugural tournament marked NCBA’s continued commitment to nurturing youth and family engagement in golf, building on the success of its Golf Series, which kicked off its 2025 season at the same venue.
“We have shown our unwavering support for the sport, investing heavily in golf at different levels. At NCBA we believe in inspiring Greatness in all its forms and indeed, our commitment to this tournament and to inspiring growth of our customers is firmly embedded in the ethos of the NCBA Brand,” he said.
He noted that previous NCBA-supported initiatives have seen over 100 junior golfers from Uganda and the broader East African region participate, many earning international qualification credits and improving Uganda’s standing in junior world rankings.
The introduction of the parent-and-child format reflects NCBA’s holistic vision—promoting healthy lifestyles, intergenerational bonding, and the core values of golf, including honesty, respect, and discipline.
He said Plans are already underway to make the Parent & Child Golf Tournament an annual highlight for families across Uganda, as the bank looks to broaden participation. This new tournament will also integrate seamlessly into the broader NCBA Junior and Golf Series, which span five East African countries.
