The Uganda Golf Club (UGC) has named Hole No. 6 at its Kitante course after the late Henry Kamuntu in honor of the club member, avid golfer, and dedicated sportsman who passed away in July 2021.

UGC captain Brian Rwabogo announced the development following a one-day golf tournament held in Kamuntu's memory on Saturday. The event was among the most attended on the club's annual golfing calendar.
