Celebrity Golf Club to host West Coast Golf Championship

Massive preparations are underway on and off the course at the Celebrity Golf Club at Sakumono in Accra where the next PGA tournament will be held.

The competition, known as the West Coast Golf Championship (Road to Damang) follows the one held at Damang in the Western Region. The championship will be the third flagship in the series of pre-qualifiers and will be played from Wednesday, 21st to Friday, 23rd August 2024.

It will serve as one of the competitions ahead of the main tournament, which will be held in November.

With the stakes being high and coupled with a new tournament ground, players are training feverishly to be part of the contingent to Celebrity Golf Course.

With some players still yet to secure qualification for the main tournament, preparations at some club courses have taken various dimensions with the hope of making the cut by 23rd August.

Meanwhile, some lady golfers who are gradually warming up to the professional game in the country are also in the mix to showcase their talent during the three-day competition at Sakumono. The ladies will feature some who competed in the last Damang tournament and are looking forward to impressing golf enthusiasts.

The PGA’s director of operations, Alhaji Ahmed Padori, touching on the upcoming competition from his base in the United Kingdom, noted that preparations are being done behind the scenes to ensure the success of the competition. He urged the various golfers to be adequately prepared for the competition since it will sharpen them for the main one in November.

Alhaji Padori expressed the PGA’s appreciation to Goldfields for their massive support over the last ten years, which he believed has assisted in developing the interest in the sport in Ghana.

He also thanked the executives of Celebrity Golf Club for availing the PGA of their golf course and other facilities to use during the competition.
