Innocent Nahabwe returned 38 stable ford points to win the inaugural CEO Golf Tournament at the Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa on Friday.
Playing off handicap 24, the Uganda Golf Club member and Galaxy FM CEO beat over a hundred players to write his name in the record books of Serena.
"I have won this accidentally because I want originally meant to play but I was invited late on and this makes me very happy," Nahabwe said.
"I started badly and ‘scratched a few holes because I missed working with my caddie but I stayed calm and stabilized later.
"Serena is a challenging course but luckily I didn't shower today. I went with two boxes of balls hoping maybe to return with none but luckily I used one ball throughout and probably that explains the win,"
"This is a different type of competition because you are not competing with season golfers but one that offers an opportunity for us to meet and engage; this allows for ‘cross-pollination' which is important for business, "Nahabwe stated.
Patrick Mugisha, John Muchiri, and Joseph Adrapi topped the men's groups A-C while Wendy Angudeyo and Maxi Byenkya were the best in the ladies' category.
Liquid Telecom CEO Dennis Kahindi, the sponsors of the one-day event, said this is going to become an annual pilgrimage for the top industry CEO's to not only come and associate but also to relax and get opportunities for business interactions while walking the fairways and greens of the beautiful Serena Course.
"Liquid has been here for about four years, our work is connectivity If you want to get internet it better to get it from the source which is Liquid Telecom," Kahindi told the guests at the 19th hole.
The tournament will be played annually bringing the top industry CEOs and key decision-makers together for competition as they also improve their game.
