No fewer than 130 golfers are expected at this year’s BOVAS Golf tournament scheduled for this weekend at Tiger Golf Club, Odogbo, Cantonment, Ibadan.

The tournament which is sponsored by the BOVAS and company Limited would attract golfers across the country to battle for honours.

Speaking, chairman, Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the competition, Mr Chris Nzekea said logistics have been put in place towards ensuring a hitch-free tournament.

He laud the company for their commitment to the promotion of golf in the country while urging other corporate bodies to emulate BOVAS.

“The tournament is about promotion of golf within Ibadan and its environs, this is the fourth edition of the tournament and BOVAs use it to develop golf, a game which always shows the integrity of an individual.
