He disclosed that they would be having networking session and welcome party on Friday, while the tournament proper would hold on Saturday, May 3.

He said “The tournament is not about the golfers only; we have made provision for non golfers and we tagged it ‘Golf Clinic’ where professional golfers will engage them on the practice range.

“For the Golf Clinic, we are engaging some members of the association and their spouses so as to introduce them to the game of golf.

“We are also going to have tourism for people who are not residents of Ibadan. We have made provisions to visit the museum at the Cocoa House, Bower Tower and the Olubadan palace.”

Also, representative of the Dean, Lagos Business School (LBS) and President and Leadership of LBS alumni association, Omotayo Akinyede said she’s optimistic that it would be a memorable tournament.

Akinyede, who is also the Relationship Manager of LBS, said the essence of the tournament is to engage their members from various aspects, sports, recreation, entrepreneurship and so many other things.
