The Ghana Minigolf Federation president Alhaji Talal Fattal has expressed gross optimism about the success of the sport.
He cited the massive turn out for the rehearsal over the weekend at the Marvels Minigolf Course, Dzorwulu as a foretaste of what to expect in the maiden Minigolf League in January.
Alhaji Fattal led the well-organized training session which lasted for close to five hours amid fun, networking and healthy competition.
He pledged to take the sport to greater heights in the country and beyond and commended participants for showing up in their numbers.
The Global Village CEO told the media that “I am highly impressed about the turn out, it is the beginning of good things to happen to this wonderful sport.”
“We are coming up with ideas and structures to make minigolf competitive. We have created the Ghana Minigolf league which is the first in the world and the final 24 out of hundred from the league starting January will qualify to play in the World.”
He added that “The youth is welcome, interested persons from age16 years and over qualify as members open to people from all walks of life. It is not restricted to only adults, the youth is included so in February, March and April we are going to start the schools competition starting with Accra, and later to the other regions. We will also organize Corporate Leagues and gala for companies. We also have communities in mind where we intend organizing competitions as well.”
Registered members received membership cards and certificates after the rehearsal.
