Uganda started its East Africa Golf Tour at Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort on Thursday. Players will compete under the 2025 theme Roar on the Green. Four person teams play the Stafford format where three best scores count each hole. The winning team earns a free trip to represent Uganda at the Grand Finale event. Teams will face competitors from across East Africa at the December championship in Nairobi.
Uganda performed well at last year's tournament. Joseph Cywaai, Peace Kabasweka, Babirye Martha and Abdul Nasser Kakeeto won the Grand Finale at Sigona, Kenya. Their team scored 109 points and beat Tanzania's team that earned 106 points. Winners received one million Kenyan shillings for sustainability projects. The champions also earned a free trip to compete at the Rwanda Open Golf Tournament.
Theodor Van Rooyen directs the Uganda tournament and praised the competition. He believes players show precision, teamwork and competitive spirit during matches. Van Rooyen expects the winning team to represent Uganda well at the Nairobi finals. Tournament organizers planted 300 trees at the resort as part of environmental efforts. The resort plans to plant 15,000 trees across Uganda before 2025 ends.
