IT is a case of ‘ten-fore’ as Motorola Solutions UK sponsors the Police Sport UK Golf National Team.

Comprising 10 golfers drawn from more than 120 police officers, the team took part in the 2014 Police UK Sports Championships.

The team, which includes officers from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, represent the police in a series of inter-service matches, competing against the armed services and emergency services teams.

Team captain Simon Ives, said: “This sponsorship enables us to play more competitively against professional teams at challenging venues throughout the UK.

“With a strong, motivated team, our goal is to take the challenge to fellow officers at international police golf championships.”

Motorola Solutions UK chairman Graeme Hobbs, based at the company’s headquartered in Viables, Basingstoke, said: “Motorola Solutions has a well-established partnership working with the UK Police to supply mission critical communications, but it is very nice to be able to extend that relationship beyond the beat and onto the golf course.

“The team is a great representative for the service and we are pleased to be able to help in their endeavours.”
