Golf: Airtel Open tees-off today

The 84th Airtel Ghana Golf Open will tee-off today at the Celebrity Golf Club at Sakumono with about 60 professional and amateur golfers competing for the top prizes in one of the flagship tournaments on Ghana's golfing calendar.

The President of the Ghana Golf Association (GGA), Mr Mike Aggrey, told the Daily Graphic in an interview that the competition would be exciting, explaining that a mouthwatering prize of a brand new BMW X1 2017 model, sponsored by Mechanical Lloyd, would be at stake for a hole-in-one.

Mr Richard Adiase, the Head of Airtel Business, said the telecomunications giants had been part of the prestigious tournament over the last three years as headline sponsors and he expected this year’s competition to be the most exciting and rewarding for both professional and amateur golfers.

"Our partnership with the Ghana Golf Association enables us to support the development of golf in Ghana and offers a platform for our Premier and Business customers to participate in the prestigious competition,” he noted.
