A fireworks display, dances and musical performances crowned yet another season ender at the Castle Lite Mug of Mugs at Entebbe Golf Club on Saturday.

The Entebbe Club ‘choir' was also in their singing moods adding to an already ignited atmosphere with their melodies alongside the Gagamel Band led by Bebe Cool.

Tumusiime was also the overall mug series winner over ten months with 106nett while Alex Nkuyahaga won the men's series with 108 nett.

He is also remembered for re-designing the Entebbe course from a nine-hole to an 18-hole facility, the reason one of the holes at the club is named after him.
