“I have won trophies with kitties within the club, but this is the first major trophy for me, and of course I’m excited, happy about it, but it is more of a call to do more, basically to go back and work harder, improve my game and see where it takes me to,” Kolo said.

He described the outgoing captain of the IBB International Golf and Country Club, Dr Banjo Obaleye as an accomplished and astute professional that should be emulated.

“The exco that Captain Banjo Obaleye basically led had a vision on how to improve the club status, the games and so far so good they have achieved a lot of that. As a person, basically he is focused, accomplished and I see him as an astute professional to emulate.”

Several former captains and lady captains of the club were also at hand to celebrate with Obaleye as he set to bow out after 12 month of impactful service to the club.

AA Agib carded 71 to defeat Olalere Olakunle in the Best Gross Men, while Grace Agbo and Farida Wada led the Best Gross Women.

In the Men Pros category, Andrew Odoh beat Godwin Okoko to the runner-up nett, while Racheal Danjuma beat fellow Police Officer Amina Wilfred to the Ladies Pros prize.
