Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Dennis Kawalya could have normally gone about his business on Saturday without minding anybody in his group during the action of the Lady Captain\u2019s Prize tournament at Uganda Golf Club (UGC).<\/b><\/p>\n

But instead, he opted to be kind and tried to help out a new player during the round. Interestingly, Kawalya\u2019s gesture only blessed him.<\/p>\n

He emerged as the overall best male player after returning a score of 62 nett off handicap 19 at the packed par-72 course.<\/p>\n

The victory evidenced that one good turn deserves another. \u201cI was just playing with a lady, playing for the first time. So I took it on to help her,\u201d Kawalya explained his victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI played more calm golf as I tried to encourage the lady to play. She actually tried to bundle out on Hole No.5, the sun and the struggles. I tried to keep her in the game. I would go to my shot and then ask her to come through.<\/p>\n

\u201cI played with a good group of guys and we were having fun on the course. And starting off on the back nine, we didn\u2019t have any pressure.<\/p>\n

My putting was on. I had a small putting drill with one of the pros prior to my game which actually helped,\u201d Kawalya added.<\/p>\n

Following two years of consistent golfing, his first-ever overall win comprised two birdies on Holes par-4 No.2 and par-5 No.3.<\/p>\n

And on the day UGC lady captain Wendy Angu\u2019Deyo\u2019s first year in office was celebrated, it was Hisae Koshiba who emerged as the best female player with a score of 69 nett off handicap 27.<\/p>\n

Both Kawalya and Koshiba won air tickets courtesy of Kenya Airways. The event had other partners including KCB Bank, White Cap Crisp, Aquafina, Gorilla Heights and Wandaz Products.<\/p>\n
