Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Peter Orubebe has revealed his golf side of life, stating that the game, more than anything else makes him more focused in life pursuit.

The game of golf is an enjoyable one and not just because of the nature of the game as it were, but contributively because of the caliber of people playing it. One beautiful thing about golf is its universal acceptance which truncates other games to compete with it.

Golf players are passionate, focused and very  intelligent people, no wonder Elder Orubebe described his love and passion for golf playing as “LIFE” itself.

Relating this to real life experiences, Elder Orubebe had explained overtime saying: “when I am on the Golf course, I focus my mind on how to get my shots perfectly with my eyes on the ball and the right swing and with the right clubs as you know. To me, this is how life plays itself.

“Holding on to the past, makes life even heavier and nothing good can come out of a heavy burdened heart. The game makes you to be more focused, “Eyes on the Ball” calculative, determined and responsible for the overall outcome”

When an interesting national leader describes the game of golf as an interesting game that people need to learn to support with a view to promoting its reach and awareness; then indeed, it is a game worth eying and considered imperative to use as a tool for National UNITY as in the case of football which have been thriving so high under the President Goodluck Jonathan’s transformation agenda for the nation.

In the game of golf, every ‘tee shot’ is remarkable just like in life, no matter how bad your shot maybe, golfers always put it behind them just to ensure a clear mind as they look forward to a better shot on the next and ensuring they keep the rules of the game.

Elder Orubebe’s expression is a clear cut that he is a man that has understudied the relevance of golf, marrying it to our everyday living even pushes further his points as a man whose interests are larger than the common minds could think. Orubebe is not just a lover of golf, he is a golfer with a difference.

In Nigeria for instance, notable men and women are into the game of golf as it has shown true value for time over the years. There is no mouthwatering incentive for the amateur but it is an interesting game for interesting people. When you realize that men of such caliber are into the game of golf, you would agree that, surely there is something about the game that attracts people of like minds as Elder Orubebe.  Meanwhile the Nigeria Golf Federation has endorsed the Orubebe Invitational championship billed for February 22, 2014 at the Sapele Golf Course. The two-day event will attract amateur players to the Sapele Athletics Club, and they are expected to test their might for prizes at stake in this maiden edition of the championship.
