The director of operation told NAN that the events will be filled with entertainment in the evening for participants to unwind.
“Evenings will be mainly to unwind and relax with good music from our entertainment industry, there will be artistes performing for our members.
“All work and no play make golfers dull, so we will unwind as we discuss our development and our focus for the next landmark celebration,’’ she said.
Asked how the Seventh Sports International intends to market the brand and look for potential sponsors, she said: “Already we have about four states that are on board with us, I won’t let the cat out of the bag yet, I believe it’s going to be a memorable celebration.
“It’s not just Nigerian golfers, some other African countries are our members too, so it’s going to be massive,’’ she said. (NAN)
