The outgoing Captain of the Royal Golf Club Prof Bernard Baiden has finished his term on a high note.

Crowning his successful term together with Lady Captain Madam C.Y. Nyarko with a special golf competition at the club over the weekend, the duo donated a new presentation table and chairs to the club.

They also gave away 250 scorecards and tee to the club for use by guest golfers.

Professor Baiden pointed out that through financially prudent measures, the 2015 Executive Committee succeeded in purchasing two new tractor mowers and a brand new tractor for the club.

He further indicated that plans were far-advanced for the purchase of a gang mower and slasher to add to the equipment stock of the club.

Prof Baiden announced a new 5-year partnership agreement with DDP Outdoor Ltd for all advertising franchise at the golf club and promised to finalise the deal before leaving office by the end of the year.

He urged all members to support the very people they elect as their leaders to help move the club forward.

The avid golfer called for cooperation from all members of the club in the management of affairs and pledged to assist whoever becomes the next Captain in any capacity.
