Experienced Kenyan golfer Dismas Indiza is the day one leader at the 2018 Castle Lite Uganda Open (professionals).
The long hitting golfer, a member of Mumias Golf Club in Western Kenya returned 3 – under – par 69 on day one of the open under the professional category played at the par 71 lake side Entebbe Golf Club on Wednesday.
Indiza was unstoppable with a total of six birdies on holes 1, 3, 7,9, 15 and 18.
It was a perfect round of golf. Apart from a few troublesome holes on the back nine and the fast greens, day one was relatively good for me

Three golfers are tied in second position with 2 – under 69.
These include Dayne John Moore, Robson Chinhoi and Greg Snow.
US based Willy Deus Kitata is the best Ugandan on the opening day with 1 – under 70.
Kitata also played a hole in hole shot on the Centenary Committee par 3 Hole number 10, using a Taylor made 2 Red stripes ball with a 7 iron over 216 yards as witnessed by Ignatius Mketekete and George Olayo.
Three Kenyans Alfred Nandwa, Simon Ngige Mburu and David Wakhu have also played one under.
This was merely a practice round. I feel happy having played a hole in hole. Apart from the triple bogy on hole 13, the scores would have been best. Let us see what day two brings. I expect to win this open

Kasese based golfer Happy Robert is 1 – under 72, the same score as Richard Baguma and Tony Omuli
Last year’s champion Stephen Ferriera is two over alongside Deo Akope, Nelson Simwa, Silver Opio and Lake Victoria Serena Golf club resident professional Fred Wanzala.
It remains a close contest among all the golfers given the stiff competition after the opening round.
The total kitty of $50,000 (at least Shs 82M) is available for the professionals who make the cut after day two action on Thursday.
The youngest professional, David Kamulindwa (scored 74 on day one) will tee off first at 8:00 AM on day two alongside Liberty Gumisa.
