Osun Former Governor Hails New Book On Golf

The President of the Nigeria Golf Federation (NGF), Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, said that the historic golf book, ‘Who is Who in Nigeria Golf’ would chart a fresh beginning for the sport.

The 500-page book which is a direct production between the NGF and an Abuja based Marvelous Mike Press, provides an uncommon profile on some 250 Nigerian golfers who had offered selfless services to ensure rapid growth of the sport in Nigeria.

Nominees that made up this authentic Hall of Fame in golf, both living and dead, were drawn from 1897, the year golf was first played in Nigeria at the Sapele Golf Club in present day Delta State.

“The book is fascinating in the sense that it brings to public domain those Nigerians who offered so much for the growth of golf in Nigeria”, Oyinlola, a former Governor of Lagos and Osun states disclosed. 

The book which would be launched with a 5- star Pro-Am golf tournament was packaged by Nigeria’s foremost golf writer, Tony Akhigbe.
