Golf Youth Tourney Underway

Nelson C. Oneyama Golf Youth Training Tournament commenced last Friday simultaneously at the Sea view and Firestone Golf Courts in Virginia and Harbel. Dr. Oneyama is the President of the Liberia Golf Association.

The Training Tournament is in fulfillment of his inaugural speech in which he promised to make Golf a Champion Sport in Liberia. He also promised to recruiting and train young people who have the passion for the game.

The Tournament, which is expected to last for more than three months, has at least forty-eight Youths between the ages of 14 and 17 and 18 and 24.

Taking the kickoff on behalf of the President of the Liberia Golf Association, the Secretary General Jacob Smith, urged the participants to take advantage of the Competition, as it is intended to make them Liberia’s next Golf Champions.

According to him, the competition is intended to scout possible replacement for the current professionals after they shall have left the scene.

He said the Competition has been organized by the Liberia Golf Association with sponsorship from its President Dr. Nelson C. Oneyama, for the purpose of producing a new breed of professional Golfers to represent Liberia at International Competitions.
