The monthly Serena Kigo Golf Resort membership championship teed off on Friday February 28 at the picturesque golf course.
Richard Mucunguzi was the overall winner scoring 42 points in the inaugural tournament that was sponsored by Johnnie Walker Gold Reserve.
“The tournament will be happening every last Friday of the month and will run over the next ten months culminating into the grand Serena Johnnie Walker Championship in December, “ Theodor van Rooyen said.
Members will be earning points every month they take part and seven of their best monthly scores will cumulatively be used to select the overall winner.
“We shall select seven out of ten scores because our members are busy,they travel all over the world and we know they can’t make it for every event but we encourage them to always make time,” Theo said.
Koshiba Hisea was the ladies winner scoring 39 points and the runner up was Marth Babirye with 26 points.
Playing off Handicap 7 David Plenderith was the Group A men’s winner with 36 points.
“Last year Johnnie Walker partnered with Serena Kigo as we launched this magnificent golf course, we are proud that our partnership is now on a monthly basis,” Said Uganda Breweries Head of Luxury Portfolio Annette Nakiyaga.
