LEADING professional golfers from Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania converge on Kitante course on Wednesday to compete in one of the events marking 100 years of the Uganda Golf Club.
The professionals’ event will tee off in the morning and will be followed by the Corporate tournament in the afternoon.
Uganda’s leading professionals Deo Akope (+11), Godfrey Mande (+8)and Denis Anguyo (+19) will try to make up for the disappointment at the Kenyan Open where they failed to make the cut on Friday. The cut was at +4.
The celebrations will conclude with a highly anticipated two-day centennial tournament on Friday.
