The nation’s finest golfers will parade at the Celebrity Golf Club tomorrow to vie for honours in the Wish Bone Incorporated-sponsored Heritage Classic competition.
The Heritage Classic is an annual event in memory of the late Justice Charles Edward Henley Coussey. This year’s tournament will be used to raise funds for the New Horizon Special School at Cantonments in Accra.
Over 100 golfers from Achimota, Celebrity, Tema Country clubs and the Royal Golf Club in Kumasi will sort things out in the one-day invitational event.
The competition, which enters its second year, will see golfers playing for the claret jug trophy which is in circulation in Ghana.
The Patron of Wish Bone, Mr Pierre Coussey, who is the new captain of Celebrity Golf Club, sees the event as a worthy cause to enhance the club’s potential and also support the under-privileged in society.
Competition Secretary, Mr Oswald Amuzu, told the Daily Graphic that the Heritage Classic tourney is a permanent feature on Celebrity’s golf calendar, and that members were keen on annexing the title tomorrow.
More than 100 golfers have already signed up for the competition which will re-enact the rivalry among the top guns, with Mr Geoffrey Avornyotse, Joe Ampofo, Akwasi Poku and others expressing optimism to carry the day.
Defending champion, Mr Renne Kwame of Achimota Golf Club, has called the bluff of his contenders, saying that he is prepared for a successful defence.
At stake are attractive prizes which the sponsors are keeping close to their chest.
