GCB Bank Deputy MD (Operation) (3rd L front row) with all the winners
An impressive 63 net score on Saturday handed the GCB Bank ultimate prize (category A) to Christopher Mbii at the Bok Nam Kim Golf Club near Burma Camp in Accra.
Over hundred golfers graced the keenly contested single and regular stroke play competition despite the many golf competitions on the day at the various golf clubs.
Mbii (banker), now GCB Bank’s face of golf, beat John Quarshie by ten strokes to lift the ultimate prize and other GCB Bank customised souvenirs.
Dacosta Amofa Owusu finished third with a 74 net score.
A 68 net score earned Chief John Asafo-Adjaye the category B prize, beating Nana Yaw Bamfo and Sangchul Han on countback in that order.
It was Beatrice Dovlo, 68 net, who emerged tops in the ladies category after incidentally beating Hajia Zenabu Akoto and Abena Ntrakwa-Mensah on countback.
The nearest to the pin prize went to Tafo Club’s Victor King Bosor, while Floria Hurtubise picked the longest drive prize. Fourteen-year-old Celebrity Golf Club’s Michael Nyarko left the course with the longest drive prize.
GCB Bank Managing Director, Emmanuel Lamptey, admitted the current economic challenges but promised his outfit’s readiness to stand by its numerous clients to grow their businesses.
He said, “Times are really difficult but GCB will be the factor to support our clients. Our CSR goes beyond golf. We want to support Ghana’s economy bringing banking to the doorstep of our clients, hence our quest to open branches across the nation.”
He added, “Golf is worthy of corporate support taking into account the health benefits. Golf teaches tenacity, resilience and determination, and that is what GCB Bank represents. We have been around for 70 years, supporting Ghanaian businesses and we will continue to stand by them.”
