All is set for this year's Ecobank Cup Golf tournament scheduled for July 30 at the Achimota Golf Club, Mr George Y Amoah, Competition Secretary, Achimota has said.

The annual 18-hole Ecobank-sponsored event is expected to draw crack golfers from across the country to battle for supremacy.

"The stage is set for the competition which is expected to draw a large number of golfers.

"A fee of 100 Cedis is being charged as entry fee for both members and non-members. It's been encouraging so far and if that is anything to go by then, a spectacular event is expected."

Head, Corporate Communications (Ecobank Ghana & Anglophone West Africa) Mrs Patricia Sappor said “Sports enhance the quality of life. Golfing is an excellent sport that accommodates both the young and old.

“Not only is it great fun but it promotes physical fitness, mental stimulus and has far-reaching social benefits!

“Having hosted tournaments at the Achimota Golf Club for over 15 years, Ecobank is proud to organize this year’s edition.”

The 18-hole competition has received massive support from club captain Dr Frank Adu Jnr, his vice captain Mark Cofie as well Ghana Golf Association (GGA) president Mike Aggrey.
