HONOURS: USPA Golfer Of The Year 2008

NAMAKULA will for very good reasons be one of four nominees to contest for the Uganda telecom-USPA Sportsman of the Year award at Hotel Africana on Saturday night.
Kenyans have for over three decades dominated the regional golf circuit. That was not expected to change when Namakula, an Information Technology graduate was one of Uganda’s entrants to the Kenyan Open in Nairobi.
But the 23-year-old defied the odds to stun the field and become the first Ugandan woman to win the prestigious Kenya Ladies Open.
In the year past, Namakula also took the Hima Cement Lady captain’s prize, the Crane Bank Kigezi Open, the Stanbic Bank Corporate title and Nation Group Classic. A great chance as no golfer before has won the top USPA award.
