Babirye, Liu top Gadies and Lentlemen golf tournament
Jun 23, 2019
The ladies section organised tournament saw golfers swap roles on the course with the men playing off the ladies tee and vice versa.
Martha Babirye and Kelvin Liu collected 32 and 48 points respectively to win in their respective categories as the Gadies and Lentlemen golf tournament ended at Kitante on Saturday.
Fresh from playing in the Conservation Golf Challenge winning team that included Clow Craig, Edward Albie, and David Plenderleith a day before, Babirye was playing on familiar territory to easily bag her second victory in two days.
The ladies section organised tournament saw golfers swap roles on the course with the men playing off the ladies tee and vice versa.
Jenina Nasimolo beat last year's overall winner Katy Kabenge in the Gadies Group A after each returned 26 points. Petra Nalwoga finished third in the group but walked away with the best dressed lentlemen prize after she appeared on the course dressed in a men's shirt with a tie, trousers and cowboy hat.
Jackie Kamunyu won Group B where Rose Azuba and Wendy Angudeyo picked 29 and 28 points respectively while Doreen Mwesigye, Eve Araduha and Olivia Musisi where the top players in Group C.
Ibra Bagalana, David Nambale, and Edgar Muzahura found no problem playing from the ladies tees and carded 44, 43 and 42 points to emerge the best in the Lentlemen's Group A, just like Santosh Chandara, Nyaga Ngari and David Ssekitoleko who picked 43 and 41 points each respectively in Group B.
Group C top players were Michael Muhangi (43pts), Ashish Arora (42pts) and Doshi Tushar (39pts).
