The Ladies section of the IBB International Golf and Country Club has emphasized the need to bring golf clinics to kids in Internally Displaced Camps (IDP) to stimulate their interest in the sport.


Lady Captain of the Club, Dame Julie Donli, stated this during a visit by members of the club to kids in the Durumi IDP camp, Abuja, to commemorate Children’s Day.


Donli mentioned that the visit was the Club’s way of supporting the less privileged, encouraging them, and instilling hope in them.


“Today is a day to celebrate the children; we are here at the IDP camp in Durumi to celebrate our lovely children who are displaced.


“We need to give them a sense of belonging, despite being in a displaced camp; we are trying to show them that we care about them,” she said.


The former NAPTIP boss stated that moving forward, the club will explore ways to take its weekly children’s golf clinic to kids in the IDP camp to further expose them to the sport and give them hope.


“We have what we call the children’s golf clinic where young children are taught how to play golf.


“But first, you need to be interested in golf, you need to have the kits and the ability to attend and move around.


“So, for the kids in the IDP camp, in terms of logistics, it will be a bit difficult to include them in that program, absolutely difficult.


“But what we are thinking of doing is to occasionally bring the golf clinic to them, teach them the basics, just to give them a feel of what it is like and to begin to develop interest in the sport,” she said.


Earlier, the Social Secretary of the Club, Omon Isemede, mentioned that this year’s Children’s Day celebration was taken outside the lush green golf course to create a broader impact.


“We are here today to celebrate with the kids in the IDP camp. We also gave a talk about hygiene and how to take care of themselves, even though they are displaced. Little things like this matter,” she said.


The highlight of the occasion was the presentation of gifts to the kids and a donation of N200,000 to the IDP camp for the upkeep of the kids.
