Since its launch in March, a total of 90 golfers have registered for the series, which is running until December.
Among the top performers expected to be recognized is Lin Chen You. Chen emerged as the front-runner, having played an impressive 19 rounds. In his previous round, he shot a remarkable score of 30, showcasing his exceptional skill and form. Close behind him is Hon. John Byabagambi, who played 16 rounds and also achieved a commendable score of 30 in his last outing.
Serena Club Professional Boniface Simwa has reassured players who are yet to tee-off that there is still time for them to catch up.
"Many participants have already played numerous rounds, demonstrating their dedication and passion for the sport. We acknowledge the various commitments and potential travel constraints some players might have, but call upon them to start playing as soon as possible," he said.
He further stated that with the flexibility to play rounds on any day of the week, those who have not yet begun their journey can embark on a golfing marathon and eventually close the gap with the pace-setters.
The format of play for the Serena 63 Golf Series is stableford, ensuring fairness and equitable scoring for all participants allowing golfers of different skill levels to compete on an even playing field and enjoy the game to the fullest.
