He explained, “International Pairs, as the name implies, is an International event that gives Nigerians the opportunity of competing at the world finals with others from around the world. Nigeria Placed third at the 2015 event. Because of this, participation is always huge as golfers fly in from across the country to take part in the competition, thus offering quantifiable mileage to the sponsors and participants.”
He revealed that over 100-pairs are expected to take part in this year’s competition, adding there will also be guest players as well, all taking part in the competition.
Olukoya explained that players, who may miss out of the qualifiers, also have the opportunity of joining the winners for a trip to the World Finals in Spain later in the year.
“The International Pairs is all about creating memories and friendships that will last a lifetime,” he added.
The 2016 World final would be hosted by Marriott Hotel La Sella Golf Resort & Spa Dénia, Alicante, Spain.
