All is now set for the second edition of the Beginers Golf Championship scheduled for the lush green Abeokuta Golf Club in the Ogun State capital.
Scheduled for December 16, 2023, no fewer than 100 golfers will be participating in the event, an initiative of a PGA of Nigeria player and “golf-business’” manager, Mubasiru Sanusi, who believes it would be a worth memorable event.
The Championship which debut in December 2022 at the Abeokuta Golf Club is a game designed for handicap 28-36 who will compete among themselves, alongside the sponsors and professionals; it is a novel event in the country and gradually taking a firm foundation.
Winners prizes range from, Men – 1st, 2nd and 3rd; Veterans 1st and 2nd; Ladies, 1st, 2nd and 3rd, while overall Best Net (Male or Female) will pocket a N100,000 as star prize.
Sanusi commenting on the championship in an interview with SOKOnnect recently said, “I want to emphasise that golfers will experience a mind-blowing championship this time around; this is because the success of the first edition has encouraged us to improve on the second edition; but one can only feel it, by experiencing it.”
In this regard, Sanusi who is the Director of Rockmade organisation encouraged golfers to sign up for the one-day event which provides another avenue for networking and other incisive interactions on the way forward for the game in Nigeria.
It would be recalled that Bashorun Adegbite, Captain of Abeokuta Golf Club on his assumption of office as the captain had charged golfers to “think outside the box” as a way of improving the game and worth of the players.
