The 2020 Plateau Governor’s Golf Cup will begin on December 8, Mr Nathaniel Lagan, Secretary of Lamingo golf club, Jos, has said.

Lagan made the disclosure at a press conference on Friday in Jos.
He said both professional and amateur golfers from within and outside Nigeria would participate in the tournament.

According to him, the event which will begin on Tuesday, Dec. 8 will close on Sunday, Dec. 13.
“This is an annual event; though it went moribund at some point, but it was revived and consistently held in the last four years.

“As usual, we are expecting both professional and amateur golfers from all over the country and even outside the country.

“Last year we had over 300 golfers, we are expecting more this year,”he said
Lagan said that the 2020 edition of the tournament would also feature ‘super’ veteran golfers above 70 years of age.

The secretary said the tournament would not only promote peace and unity, but create economic opportunities for residents, thereby improving the state’s revenue profile.

“This golf tournament has impacted positively on the economy of the state, and this year will not be different.

“As we speak, hotels are already smiling to the banks because golfers coming from outside Jos have started making reservations for accommodation, “he added.

He thanked Gov. Simon Lalong, for promoting the game of golf and other sporting activities in the state.
