Susan Knight has lived a fairly admirable long life with so much to learn. One to note from it is, she believes that there are processes worthy taking in order to achieve something or anything.
Knight cherished Saturday evening in company of some of her family members at the Entebbe Club’s halfway house adjacent to the tee-box of par-3 Hole No.10.
The senior golfer was announced as the overall winner of the year’s first Entebbe Monthly Tee presented by MTN thanks to a spectacular score of 64 nett off handicap 33.
‘I have been playing really badly lately but, (I) always hand in a card for compensations which I feel is important as a golfer,’ she told this paper late on Saturday.
‘My handicap moves accordingly, so today was a good round of golf by someone who plays regularly but not very good at golf. That is the most amazing thing about golf. You do not have to be a pro to grow and enjoy but just be honest to yourself and fellow golfers.’
Knight began playing golf almost two decades ago when she would be bored as her husband played squash at the club in DR Congo.
But the seed of love towards the game of swing sowed in 2009, had no inspiration from any individual. ‘I needed to do something while he played. The club had both sports available,’ Knight recalled.
On Saturday, Knight was most pleased with par-5 Hole No.11 where she got a bogey. Relatively, most golfers would desire much more but she thrives with least of satisfactions, after all there is much more life can give.
‘Golf is in my blood. Even if I did not win, I would always be back to try and improve my game,’ she added.
Knight a beat a field of about 190 players where Isaac Mariera was the seniors’ winner with 73 nett off handicap nine.
