Chinese golfer Wei triumphs at 2019 Netherlands Business Golf Day tourney

2019 Netherlands Business Golf Day:

Overall winner:

• Wu Wei Ling (H/C 17) – 43 Stableford Points

Chinese golfer Wu Wei Ling smiled home as the overall winner at the 2019 Netherlands Business Golf Day at the Uganda Golf Club over the weekend.

The handicap 17 golfer returned a total of 43 stable ford points to topple the rest of the field that had a total of 180 golfers in a tourney bankrolled by DFCU Bank, Shares, Shell Uganda, Sadolin Paints among others.

Wei won a business class return air ticket courtesy of KLM Airlines to any desired European destination.

Netherlands ambassador in Uganda Baker Henk flanked by the KLM Airlines representative Lukia Otema handed over the symbolic e-ticket dummy and the overwhelmed Wei, who failed to say any word because of language hitches.

Ambassador Henk lauded the golfing family that comes together every year to celebrate together adding that this championship is to further stamp the Dutch presence in Uganda, provide a plat form for further networking among other objectives.

I am so happy to see very many golfers together and the business community brought together to celebrate as one family through the Netherlands Business Day golf championship. I thank all the golfers, sponsors, partners and the Uganda Golf Club for making this happen
