Golf is my second place of work and being that, I learnt how to play golf here at Tiger Golf Club and I know all the corners of the course. However I was pared with the same handicaper and I was given a challenge but thank God that I was able to emerge victorious. I give kudos to the celebrant for identifying with the game golf,” Kini stated.

Meanwhile, Makinde said “Golf is usually seen as elitist game and for me; my basic aim is to encourage talents that do not even have money. There are talents who are in the game and that is why I decided to include golf as part of my birthday celebration.

“I want to encourage more people to embrace golf because we have a lot of talents. In fact, we have a lot of ‘Tiger Woods’ who are just out there and all we need to do for them is to encourage them to come into the game.”
