Organisers of the 2023 national final of the World Corporate Golf Championship won last weekend by Vitus Ezenwa and Peter Eben-Spiff both representing Grand Cereal-1 at the Lakowe Lakes Golf Estate in Lagos said this year’s event achieved a new milestone in bringing families together.
The Chief Executive Officer of Falcon Golf Nigeria, Remi Olukoya, whose company runs the global Franchise in Nigeria, said the event this year saw a lot of players attending the event with their loved ones.
“The unique thing about this year’s event is the number of players who came to Lakowe with their families for the event. I think it adds to the fun of the event,” he said.
The national final of the World Corporate Golf Championship is a yearly 36 holes team event among players who contest in pairs under a brand’s name. The winner of the event will be flying Nigera’s flag at a global event at Tenerife in Spain later in the year.
Some of the Teams featured this year included; Meristem Securities, Banwo & Ighodalo, NCDMB, and QSHOP among others.
The Golf Manager at Lakowe Lakes, Femi Olagbenro stated that Lakowe Lakes is ‘work in progress’ with the target to grow the offering to meet the need of all family members once they find themselves with the Estate.
Olukoya confirmed that about 30 different corporates jostled for the one ticket that was eventually won by the Grand Cereal-1 team and that included some that featured as guest teams as well.
Lakowe Lakes Golf Club is nestled in an Estate and also provides short let housing for those hoping for longer golfing days within the facility.
The national finals of the World Corporate Golf Championship, WCGC, was decided over two days with a Stableford scoring format between 15th April and 16th April 16.
