Arguably ranking among the oldest tournaments at this historic golf fortress, the Captain’s prize was started way back during the colonial time and still very vibrant at this noble club of 127 years old.
The tournament had a total of 35 players dominated by the members of Tooro club.
Others were golfers from the Uganda golf club (UGC) and the AFRIEYA golf Academy juniors that outshined all other players.
Teenager Rachael Natukunda, just three months into active golf returned a Nett score of 65, playing off handicap 36 to win the Juniors’ category.
Damian Asiimwe (75 Nett) and Edward Rubogonya (76 Nett) were second and third respectively in the juniors’ ranks.
Natukunda credited AFRIYEA Golf Academy for their countless effort given to the students to get the best golf skills.
I thank AFRIEYA Golf Academy for the efforts and endeavors to play golf. Without AFRIYEA, may be I could not have got a chance to hit on the golf ball. I appreciate all the coaches and I promised to work hard towards attaining my dream of playing for the Uganda golf national team.
