Playing off handicap 18, Otile returned an unmatched score of 64 nett, more than enough to spark off his weekend of ecstasy.
Morgan Otile admits he is enjoying a purple patch. His golf has been top notch this month.
But he did not think of a bountiful harvest. On Saturday, Otile floored the field at Entebbe Club to emerge as overall winner of the MTN July Monthly Tee tournament.
Playing off handicap 18, Otile returned an unmatched score of 64 nett, more than enough to spark off his weekend of ecstasy.
“I have been posting good scores for the last three weekends, it’s just a good season for me,” ever-jolly Otile said.
His scorecard however took him by surprise. “The round was good. I hoped I would win but I didn’t think I would win by that magnitude,” said the former chairman of Jinja Club.

Otile produced one sweet birdie on the day - on the green of the par-3 Hole No.16 after a lovely tee-shot. The man who has been playing golf for 15 years had accompanied that with seven pars.
Only the triple-bogey on par-4 Hole No.5 and a double-bogey on par-5 Hole No.11 could have caused alarm for Nkumba’s Sunset Hotel and Catering Services managing director.
Otile’s playing partner Dan Kajungu won men’s Group B category with a score of 70 nett off handicap 18.
