The newly elected executives of the IBB International Golf and Country Club are set to roll out plans for their tenure, as they plan to host the Captain's Inaugural Golf Tournament, scheduled for Aug. 23 to Aug. 25, 2024.

The tournament, which would commence on Friday, Aug. 23, is expected to host over 200 members of the club to felicitate with the new executives as part of the club's tradition.

In a statement signed on Wednesday in Abuja by Social & Welfare Officer

IBB Golf, and Country Club Dr Lanre Phillips, stated that, the captain of the club, Ibrahim Babayo, said that the present executive members were elected in April and it is part of the club's tradition to host a captain's inaugural golf tournament to usher them into the club.

According to him, even as newly elected EXCO members, they have already started their various programmes, and the major ones were the maintenance of the course and zero tolerance for waste.

"We are hosting the captains' inaugural tournament, which is to usher in the new EXCO that was elected in April this year. It is a tradition that we do every year. After the inauguration of EXCO, a tournament is held to showcase the golfing prowess of our members.

"The EXCO normally lay out their programmes for the tenure, as you can see that the paramount programme is the maintenance of the course, the improvement of the course, and work as started in earnest.

"During our campaigns, we also talked about zero tolerance for waste, especially plastic, we have started implementing it. We will also upgrade the clubhouse, among other numerous things,’’ he stated. 

Also, the Lady Captain, Dame Julie Donli, OON, said that this year's inaugural was going to be unique. 

"Captain’s inaugural is usually organised by the Captain of the club.

"This inaugural is used to usher in the one-year tenure of the captain, and to unfold the yearly plans, we are able to tell everyone what we have in stock for them.

"We are able to meet all the members and golf with them. Basically, that is what the captain's inaugural is all about."

Donli also mentioned that golf is absolutely essential to the mental health of every human being.

The prize and award ceremony is billed for Sunday, August 25.
