The recent participation of Kenyan golfer Scola Onsongo in the Ugandan Golf Tour which took her to among others Entebbe Golf Club and Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa is set to motivate the golfer and igniter her desire to win.
Onsongo described her experience in Kampala as both challenging and rewarding, noting how special it was to play at the Uganda Golf Club.
“I was highly honored to have played alongside the club’s resident golf pro, Mr. Joseph Mawejje, on September 29, 2025,” she said, adding that such encounters continue to sharpen her game and expose her to new insights.
She has quickly become a familiar face on the KCB East Africa Golf Tour, where she has collected multiple staff winner awards, including a notable 46 stableford points off a handicap of 31 at the Nyali Golf Club leg.
Her performances have shown steady improvement, with her handicap gradually dropping into the mid-20s, a sign of growing competitiveness. Her rise has also been international. Most recently, she teed off at Japan’s Caledonian Golf Club during the fleeting two-week Sakura season, an experience she describes as rare and unforgettable.
From the sun-drenched fairways of Stallion Mountain in Las Vegas to the windy coastal challenge of Fish River Sun in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, and further rounds in Ghana, Mauritius, and beyond, Onsongo’s game has already travelled across more than 40 golf courses worldwide.
Speaking after her second round in Kampala, she reflected on the significance of her East African campaign.
“I started playing golf during COVID when I was searching for a new challenge, and the journey has been incredible. Uganda has given me the perfect platform to sharpen my game, and as I prepare for Rwanda, I am motivated to keep pushing myself while raising Kenya’s flag higher,” she said.
Onsongo’s journey is a testament to how quickly talent and discipline can accelerate progress in golf.
The data from her tour appearances and handicap trajectory suggest that she is on course to compete more strongly in open categories, beyond staff and corporate brackets.
With her growing profile and involvement in youth development through the Junior Golf Foundation, she is also positioning herself as a role model for aspiring golfers, particularly women, across the region.
As she heads into Rwanda, Onsongo represents not just a rising golfer but also a forwardlooking force for the growth of East African golf, bridging local greens with international fairways and inspiring others to follow in her footsteps.
