The National Coordinator of the Ghana Golf Association, Leticia Amponsah Mensah has described the just-ended 10th Ghana Ladies Amateur Golf Tournament as a celebration of sportsmanship, sisterhood, and growing continental excellence in women’s golf.
Held at the Center of the World Golf Club in Tema, the tournament brought together elite female golfers from six African countries - Ghana, Nigeria, Gabon, Tanzania, Zambia, and Togo - in what has been described as one of the most inclusive and competitive editions yet.
Speaking at the closing ceremony, Leticia emphasized the significance of this year’s tournament, which gained official recognition under the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR).
She noted that this milestone reflects the strides Ghana and Africa are making in advancing women’s participation in the sport on the global stage.
“Tanzania, the defending champions, graced this event with grace, grit, and excellence,” she said, commending all players for their skill and determination, regardless of their final standings.
The Association extended appreciation to a wide range of sponsors, including Premium Animal Product Limited (lead sponsor), Japan Motors, Ink & Thread, Pamicor, Flo Polo, Ghandour Cosmetics, Barcelos, Beviamo, Fabbi Treats, SBJ Properties, Information Governance Solutions, Asuboa Wood Treatment Limited, Cediwatch, Sunu Assurance, and Millenuim Insurance, for their continued investment in women’s golf.
The Coordinator also acknowledged the efforts of the planning committee, highlighting the leadership and dedication of members including Celine, Adwoa, Cathy, and Floria.
She also expressed gratitude to male supporters who played vital roles in ensuring the event’s success.
Special thanks were also directed to the Center of the World Golf Club, praised not only for its facilities and hospitality but also for symbolizing Ghana’s central role in African golf development.
As the tournament concluded, the Coordinator reaffirmed the Association’s commitment to using golf as a platform for empowering women, strengthening regional ties, and showcasing African talent to the world.
The Ghana Golf Association looks ahead to building on this momentum, both for future editions of the tournament and for broader grassroots development in women’s golf across the continent.
