Speaking on the Global sports preview show with Nana Prempeh, Professional Golfers Association (PGA) Tournament director Akwesi Prempeh says the course is ready to host the much-anticipated golf championship and all golfers.

‘The course is very fine and in a beautiful shape. It’s a small course but really shaped well, every Golfer will love playing on the course but it’s very small in size so every golfer needs much experience to play on the such a course because it comes with hazards and bankers to trap your play.

‘It does not have the long driveability but good putting greens to sink your balls.

The West African number pro golfer Vincent Torgah, a member from Center of the world and teaching pro at Samartex golf club who won the first OBOTAN tournament would have to compete strongly against the celebrated player in Africa Emos Korblah and other top Ghanaian golfers like Kojo Barnni, Lucky Ayisah, Maxwell Owusu Bondu, Francis Torgah, Kwame Ligbidi and young golfer who is leaving no stone unturned Augustine Manasseh Agbenene if he really want to defend his title.
