Ibadan Golf Club (IGC) Captain, Idowu Salami, has highlighted the many derivable benefits from the game of golf, describing the game as a ‘life on its own’.

The legal practitioner, who became IGC Captain three months ago, recommended the game for professionals and upwardly mobile businessmen that hardly have time to recreate, saying it is a good means of relaxation with great health advantages attached.

“Apart from many health benefits associated with the game of golf, you can also settle scores of issues on the golf course while playing. You meet people from many walks of life and you network businesswise while playing.

“Golf takes you off many things that are less important. For instance, for me, it’s my work, my office and the game of golf.

“It is occupying, golf is addictive, it is like you want to go back to the course every time and the mistake you made today, you want to correct it the next day, it is life, that is full of ups and downs,” Salami noted.

He reiterated his vow to give IGC a new look having served in different capacities in the club. “I am quite in a familiar terrain. I have served in different capacities at this club. I have served as secretary; I have served as an assistant captain and in many committees in the club,” he added.

Salami said his dream and vision is to change the look of the pavilion, adding, “I want to change the total outlook that would make you sense that you are in a golf club immediately you enter the club.
