The 2026 edition of the Ikeja Golf Club Captain’s Day tournament ended at the weekend with members and participants describing it as one of the best-organised events in recent times.

The week-long event started on March 16, with each day witnessing events for the veteran men, ladies, Thursday kitty, handicap 0-18, handicap 18 and above, guests and order of merit.

A glamorous ceremony, which had in attendance eminent personalities, brought the competition to an end over the weekend.

An elated outgoing captain of the Ikeja Golf Club, Abdulrasheed Adebisi, expressed gratitude to members for entrusting him with the privilege of leading the club for the past year.

He also praised members of his 2025/26 management committee, adding that he wouldn’t have made any impact without their support.

“As my time as captain draws to a close, I look back with gratitude on the journey we have shared. Serving this great club has been one of the greatest honours, and I thank each of you for entrusting me with the privilege to lead.

“I did not walk this path alone. I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the 2025/26 management committee. We spent countless hours planning, debating and working together to make our club stronger.

“As my captaincy comes to an end, I wish the incoming captain and his team every success. I am not leaving, but look forward to many more rounds of golf with all of you,” he added.

Winners in various categories were rewarded with cash, gift items and trophies.
