Executive Golfers Chase Corporate Masters Glory

South Africa's top business golfers are once again lining up for the chance to be crowned the corporate champions of South Africa when they compete in the second Corporate Masters presented by Sun International and SEACOM at Sun City from 5-8 August, 2018.

Following the success of the inaugural Corporate Masters presented by Sun International and SEACOM at Sun City last year, the second edition of this tournament will feature an increased field of business golfers as well as several other enhancements that are already making it the premier corporate golf event in the country.

"Last year was great for the first event, but this year we plan to take it to another level. We're committed togrowing this tournament and to supporting it for many years to come. Our whole growth strategy for this event is focused on making thisthetournament for corporate golfers. We've seen in our own company that much of our business is based on relationships, so we know the value that golf brings to develop and mould relationships, and of events such as the Corporate Masters," saidByron Clatterbuck, Chief Executive Officer of SEACOM.

"We want the leaders of industry participating. Golf is a great sport for this kind of competition, as it allows participants of all skill levels to compete head-to-head.And that's our vision for this event - to grow it into a world-class corporate tournament."

Companies are represented by teams of two golfers competing in a 36-hole Stableford Points competition at Sun City's two championship layouts in the Gary Player Country Club and the Lost City Golf Course. The Corporate Masters has been sanctioned by Golf RSA and is run according to the same professional standards as the major professional and amateur golf tournaments that have been hosted at Sun City for several decades.

Grant Parker, the GM of SEACOM Business SA at SEACOM, said they would be introducing several new elements to this year's tournament.

"We're looking at growing the field this year, and this year all participating golfers will have to have a registered handicap as part of the process of making this as professional a tournament as top business people would expect.

"We also want to have a base camp at the Gary Player Country Club which is the gathering point after every round to encourage more social interaction and networking. And we're looking at the possibility of a golf simulator and a golf village of sorts."
