The Jos Triangular Golf Tournament ends as Plateau State Gov. Simon Lalong celebrates his birthday

Posted : 08 May 2023
Gov. Simon Lalong of Plateau has organized a special triangular golf kitty to commemorate his 60th birthday in Jos.

The tournament was hosted by Lamingo and Rhino, with the grand finale held at Rayfield Golf Clubs in Jos.

During the event on Sunday, Lalong said he organized the tournament to appreciate golfers in the state. He added that the competition would further promote the game in the state, thereby attracting more people to play the game.

”I want to thank God for sparing my life to attain the age of sixty and to all of you for making this day memorable for me.

" When I became governor, there was no golf on the plateau, but today all five clubs in the state are green. ”So, I have put this tournament together in order to appreciate all the golfers on the plateau,” he said.

The governor, who promised to make the tournament an annual event, also pledged to support the game in the state and in the country in general.

Lalong, however, called on the incoming administration in the state to support the game, adding that such a move would sustain the peace currently being enjoyed in the state.

Earlier, Steve Abah, the captain of Rayfield Golf Club, thanked the host for organizing the tournament in his honor. He said that the contributions of the governor to the golfing community in the state and the country in general could not be overemphasized.

Mr. Thaddeus Yilmen, the Chairman of the Plateau Amateur Golfers Association (PAGA) and member of the organizing committee, said over 150 professionals, amateurs, and ladies participated in the tournament. Various prizes were won by players who participated in the tournament.
