The Ghana Golf Association’s (GGA) team is ready for the
upcoming All Africa Team Challenge, which is scheduled for Mauritius in
October.
The team comprises Frank Avorsey, Alfred Kwame, Sampson Asorgbah
and Isaac Kuttey.
The qualifications commenced from the Asantehene Gold Cup,
where the top six were selected along with two wild cards.
The four golfers have established themselves as the best
among the scratch players in the country after four grueling rounds between
Achimota Golf Course and Celebrity Golf Courses.
Indications are that they will now begin a regime of
training in preparation for the main competition to be contested in
October.
“The four golfers
should be happy with themselves in making the team. However, now the work
begins all over again as they prepare to represent themselves and Ghana to the
best of their abilities in the main event,” GGA President Michael Aggrey said.
He added, “As it is, it proved wise to offer a wild card
chance to teenager Isaac Kuttey as he duly proved his talent in qualifying
amongst the more experienced scratch players.”
The All Africa Team Challenge 2019 will pit Team Ghana up
against the top scratch golfers from across the continent. These competitions
are usually dominated by teams from southern Africa, with South Africa and
Zimbabwe showcasing future professional golf tour champions.
Team Ghana is hoping to upset the usual order of
things with a strong showing.
“We wish the team all the best in their preparations and will provide updated stories once the competition begins,” he added.
