Hon. Afriyie Ankrah to grace maiden golf awards

The Minister of Youth & Sports, Hon.

Elvis Afriyie Ankrah has assured organisers of the maiden Golf Awards that he

will grace the event which is coming off on Sunday at the Events Haven located at

the Trade Fair Center.

He made the assurance when some executive

members of the Ghana Golf Association (GGA) and Primeval Consult paid a curtesy

call on him to formally invite him to the awards ceremony.

Hon. Afriyie Ankrah said as a minister

of all sporting disciplines, he has observed the activities of the golf association

for some time and has seen that they are one of the self sustaining sports

associations that has financed its own activities and now organizing an awards

ceremony to honour players and others who have contributed to the development

and promotion of the sport in Ghana.

He commended the executives of the Ghana

Golf Association (GGA) as well as Primeval Consult, the event organisers and

urged other sports associations to emulate what the golfers are doing.

Mr. Mike Aggrey, vice president of the

GGA said people have misconceptions about the game and he hopes this ceremony

would bring people around to know much about the game and also be a platform to

showcase what the game is about to generate more interest among Ghanaians.

The delegation from the GGA included President

Dr. Felix K. Frimpong and General Secretary Group Captain F. Gyimah Kwakye.
