Herbert Olowo is well-known in the banking sector. His emotions may still be stable but are mixed after he won the September leg of the Monthly Mug at Uganda Golf Club (UGC) at the weekend.
He won the tournament presented by Stanbic Bank with a best score of 64 nett to outclass the field at the par-72 course.
‘I am very excited to have won the Monthly Mug. I woke up feeling good and when I got to the course, it was amazing. Even on a stroke index one, I got a par. I enjoyed myself. And I am looking forward to my handicap dropping,’ he added.
Olowo beat the field of 100 players to the top accolade including men’s Group A and Group B winners Michael Obalim and Steven Katwiremu respectively. Both scored 69 nett each.
In the women’s category, Berna Musanabera and Hasifa Karungi stood out while Peace Namusisi from Namulonge Club emerged as the guest winner of the day.
