This year’s edition of the annual Ikoyi Golf Club Championship has been scheduled to tee off at the Golf Section of Ikoyi Club 1938 on Friday (today), the event organisers have announced.
The competition, which is already generating lots of interest within the club, is open to golfers within a handicap range of 14 and below and to be played over 36 holes.
Captain, Golf Section of Ikoyi Club 1938 Tade Adekunle described the club championship as the numero uno of golf tournaments in Ikoyi Club that all golfers look forward to and practice for, saying, the organisation of the 2025 edition will be a departure from the past and leave a lasting legacy for the future.
Though the club championship had thrown up the most unlikely winner in the past, analysts believe that low-handicapped golfers hold the ace in this year’s edition.
The likes of Remi Olukoya, Tim Ayomike, former club champion, Peter Eben-Spiff, Akeem Lawal, Ewi Akpata and Mike Makinde are some players the bookies are tipping for honours this year.
After Friday’s tee-off with guests, Saturday, February 1 will see gentlemen golfers filing out for their opening round while Sunday, February 2 is the grand finale where the best amateur golfer within the club will be crowned.
Ayomike is the defending champion of the competition sponsored by Guinness, Aramanda and Turkish Airlines.
