“Winning this tournament is very special. The weather was cool and for some reason I played well. Everything just came together for me on the course.  I played with very good golfers and I had very good rapport with them,” he said.

“To improve on our services, members must be prepared to make financial sacrifices. In line with our manifesto, various committees have been put in place to join us in developing a broad roadmap for the implementation of a 5 to 10-year development plan,” he said.

He further said he was yet to see another sport that builds national and international capital than golf.

“Apart from the health benefits which the game of golf brings to players, I am yet to see any other sport that creates a better pool of high-quality individuals necessary to build national and international social capital like golf,” he said.
