As you read this piece, four of Nigeria’s  best female amateur golfers are today competing in the Botswana Ladies Open which teed off this morning at Gaborone.

IGCC Lady Captain Faith Baya-Okoh, Diana Okah, Amina Wilson and Rachel Danjuma are flying Nigeria’s flag in the competition which is also being used as trials and preparation for Nigerian representatives  for the All Africa Challenge trophy billed for Abuja, Nigeria in October.

Apart from these ladies who are dorning Nigeria’s colours other prominent female golfers like the South South LGAN President Liz Ogbetuo and few others are competing on an individual basis at the event. The Nigerian team left Lagos late Thursday and arrived the venue on Friday morning.

According to Baya-Okoh, the Open is a 36 holes event and will be a great test for the players who have vowed to win in Botswana to boost their morale of a good outing when the Nigeria hosts the AAC in Abuja later in the year.
