Humanity has extremes of life with great trend changing endeavors and efforts always undertaken to better the living conditions.
In good and enduring times, life maneuvers its way given the prevailing conditions.
During the recently concluded Henry Kamuntu Memorial Golf tournament held at the par-72 Uganda Golf Club, Kampala, the aforementioned aspects came to fore.
Golfers openly showed their solidarity to the family of the fallen banker-cum-golfer.
As early as 6 AM, the golfers braved the sunrise dew through the scorching sun to play Kamuntu’s best game as they collected over Ug.Shs 35M.
For starters, Kamuntu is among the millions of people claimed by the Coronavirus bug in 2020-2022 time span.
The proceeds from the tournament were channeled to the Kamuntu Foundation that is currently run by the wife who has three children.
