The Captain of Abeokuta Golf Club, (AGC), Kola Adeneye has highlighted what made the golf course in Abeokuta enjoyable to golfers and standout from other courses in the country.
The golf course was described as a unique one in the sense that its topography is challenging, as the course is full of ups and downs, which means that, a round of golf session on the course would have translated to a 10 kilometers distance of walk which is very good for your health.
Abeokuta Golf course is located in a serene environment, just behind the State’s government secretariat, which gives golfers a sense of security because the course is situated in a secured environment and in an ambience devoid of noise or any city life interference.
“Abeokuta Golf Club is a destination of golf so to say, when you talk of where the game of golf can be better enjoyed especially among golf courses in the South/West geo-political zone of the country”, Adeneye noted.
He claimed to derive much from playing golf because it improves his health and makes him look fitter, “when I play golf it makes me sleep very well and all my system will revert to normal”.
While explaining what he has been able to do since he came into office as a captain, Adeneye told newsmen that his administration has made the maintenance of this course a priority and even doing it better than the way they met it.
“We are maintaining it such that all the fairways and the greens are playable, and by the grace of God we’ve been able to add ultra modern conveniences which entail good bathrooms and toilets with constant water supply. We also have a very good kitchen and a functional bar as we are trying to put up a pavilion by extending the one we have now to contain more people for socials.
“I have continue to drive membership because when we are many, it becomes merrier and we have been able to provide portable water that had eluded the club for many years, lack of portable water was a challenge we’re contending with for long because when players finished their rounds of play, they will want to refresh by taking good bath, but now we have very good water supply”.
The AGC boss also added that it is his idea to create an office for the captain, as there was no office for the captain of the club before he came into office, as it’s a befitting thing to have where to host visitors.
“We have also introduced the range in addition to what we met on ground, the ranges consist of practice bunkers and practicing greens and being used by golfers. We have also constructed a car parking lot near to the tee-off point, although still under construction.
“We have put caving stones in front of the club house to make it look better, and we also want to do irrigation close to some of our holes because we discovered these days it’s always dry but with the irrigation, it will always green for players to enjoy their games”, Adeneye enthused.
