The winners displaying their silverware
A
spirited golf play characterised the maiden Diplomatic Invitational Tournament
at the Achimota Golf Club a few days ago.
And to
the organisers of the 18-hole event, the keenly contested competition seeks to
promote the sport among the diplomatic corp fraternity and members of the
golfing community.
It
attracted about 120 golfers from all the golf clubs and some ambassadors from
the diplomatic corp.
Competition
secretary Kwaku Ofosuhene, in a post-tournament interview, said, “We are urging
the corporate world and all to visit the Achimota Golf Club, modern day golf
facility to come play and network. Positioning ourselves ‘Beyond The Return’,
Achimota Golf Club with its collaboration with Labadi Beach Hotel provides a
fraternity platform for all visiting Ghana. It was the maiden edition and we
want to annualise it.”
