Naturally, the golf sport remains one of the most accountable disciplines one will encounter.

On the golf courses world-over, the players individually make the necessary follow-up for their respective accurate scores posted.

Golfers respect the tee-off times and the set dress code to the dot.

This strict discipline on the course is often replicated off the course for effluent management.

As the 2022 Tusker Malt Uganda Golf Professional Open tees off on Wednesday, 26^th October at the par-72 Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa course, the breakdown of the Shs. 97,500,000/= total kitty is well known.

For starters, the winner will pocket 21% (Shs 21,000,000/=), with 2.5% reserved for the ties in the 30^th position.

Positions 2-30 will share 76.5% and in case of the last position exceeding more than the amount reserved, there will be another cut in the third round to lower the numbers.

This money is only for the professional players who make the cut after 36 holes.

The second-placed golfer will earn 14.00% (at least Shs. 14,000,000/=) and 8.46% (Shs. 8,460,000/=) for the third-placed professional.

Scores above 14-over par (86 gross) will not be tolerated for round two ahead of the decisive day for the treasured cut.

There are 30 slots for the golfers who will have made the cut for round three on Friday and the subsequent closing 18 holes on Saturday, 29^th October.

The 30th-positioned professional will earn 0.82% after four rounds (at least Shs 820,000/=).
