Korblah leads West African best pros to Lakowe

The management of the Lakowe Lakes Golf and Country Club has confirmed the arrival of top professional golfers from West Africa for the 2024 “Escape to The Greens” teeing off today, in Lagos.

Veteran Ghanaian player, Emos Korblah, leads the foreign players’ delegation that also has compatriot, Vincent Torgah, with Togo’s veteran, Agbvon Kosivi, leading golfers from Francophone countries as well.

Nigeria’s current rave of the moment, Francis Epe, and his equally competitive rivals, Sunday Olapade, Okoko Godwin, Francis Christopher, Kamalu Bako, Gift Willy, Chukwudi Okoro, and Mike Ubi, are also among the gladiators.
 
Speaking on the competition, the Golf Manager at Lakowe Lakes, Femi Olagbenro, said the development of the course has in no small measure contributed to the growth of professional golf in the sub-region, adding that it is always a pleasure hosting them yearly.

“The championship course that we are has added to the few options available to the golf courses in its category.

“Lakowe Lakes Golf Course is known all over the region as the best golf facility and a facility that redefined the golf experience both as a professional sport and as tourism,” he added.

According to Olagbenro, this year’s ‘Escape to The Greens’ combines the professional golf experience of Lakowe Classic and a family tourism package offered as well as a N20 million purse for the golfers.

At the same time, amateur players’ prizes have been enriched with golf gifts and memorabilia. Olagbenro said the event would also feature top amateurs including club members.  “This event has built a following within the Nigeria golf community and beyond. We believe this year’s event will be another memorable outing for esteemed members and their families,” he said.
