Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Tafo
A 22-YEAR-OLD man, Kofi Yeboah from the Tafo Golf Club, last Saturday put up a spectacular performance to win the 2007 Unique Trust Financial Services-sponsored Tafo Open championship when he beat 62 golfers drawn from various golf clubs in the country.
The triumphant Yeboah initially tied with Osei Kobina from the Royal Gulf Club, Kumasi, who came second. They both had 140 points apiece but Yeboah carried the day after the sudden death rule was applied.
Sai Godwin from the Achimota Golf Club came third with 141 points on count back while Amalie Ernest of the Tafo Golf Club took the fourth position with 141 points.
In the handicap division, Samuel Franklin Essuman from Takoradi scored 139 net on countback to take the trophy, while Felix Quarshie from Tafo had 139 net for the second position, leaving E.T. Mensah from Tema who had a net of 140 to take the third position.
The ladies scratch division registered an upset when little known Mishida Mensah from the Royal Golf Club, Kumasi, scored 170 to take the ultimate prize.
She beat Grace Afriyie of Tema who had 178 gross, countback, to take the second position, and veteran and reigning champion, Mona Captan of Achimota, who scored 178 gross on countback to take the third place.
In the ladies handicap division, Felicity Gyeabour from the Royal Golf Club came first with 153 net, followed by Florence Etwi-Barimah from Tema who scored 156 to take the second position, while Betty Richard of Royal Golf Club registered 161 net for the third position.
The Chief Executive Officer of Unique Trust Financial Services, Prince Kofi Amoabeng, donated GH¢ 5,000 (¢50 million) for the promotion of golf and urged people to take interest in it.
He congratulated all those who took part in the competition.
