As Uganda joins the rest of the world to celebrate the International Women’s Day on 8^th March 2019, the golfing family in the country will be sweating out, networking and enjoying the swing and putt game at the par 72 Uganda Golf Course, Kitante in Kampala.

The annual Women’s Day socials golf tournament is back in style.

Golfers are fresh from the climax of the inaugural Tusker Malt Lager series as well as the 9^th Entebbe Ladies golf open tournaments, both held on the same day last week.

According to the organizers, only four clubs will be used by the golfers as a by-rule.

The theme of the tournament rhymes with the day’s main agenda ‘celebrating women’.

This day-long championship is organized by the Uganda Ladies Golf Union in conjunction with the Uganda Golf Union and the Uganda Golf Club.

According to one of the organizers, Jackie Kamunyu, she expects a good turn up as the women’s day is celebrated on the course;

Others will be the Uganda Ladies Union president Eva Magala (the USPA best sports personality for February 2019), Anne Abeja, Peace Kabasweka, Monica Ntege, Sarah Babirye, Martha Babirye, Shiela Kensiime, Bridget Nakamoga and a host of young talented female golfers.
