Golf: Ikoyi Club Ladies’ unveils 50th anniversary tourney

By Daily Sports Nigeria on September 22, 2025

The Ikoyi Club Ladies’ Golf Section, at the weekend, unveiled its 50th anniversary tournament logo.

The theme of the 50th anniversary tournament, which will be held from November 12-15, 2025, is “Go Beyond – Golf and Golfing.”

It is mainly aimed at communicating the reach and impact of golf beyond the fairways on the course and into the fairways of life- preserving our environment, promoting biodiversity and creating a mindset of positivity; healthy, self-regulated and disciplined.”

A pioneer member of the club and past ladies’ captain, Mrs lyabo Attah, relived her experiences as a golfer, as well as the progressive metamorphosis the club and tournament have undergone in the last 50 years.

“It is my desire, therefore, to see that more women have taken up the game of Golf and also get their children/wards to also learn the sport.”

The 2025 ladies’ captain, Mrs Peggy Onwu, said, “This unveiling of the open tournament logo is a milestone, given that it is 50 years of commitment, skills development and building connections with ladies across Africa and beyond”.

In his remarks, the Publisher of Business Day Newspapers, Mr Frank Aigbogun, who equally chaired the logo design review, lauded the Ladies Ikoyi Club 1938, the Golf Section, for the 50th tournament anniversary milestone.

“You know, I’ve been around golf long enough, the landscape has changed dramatically, and much of that change started right here with pioneers like Mrs Iyabo Attah, who refused to accept that golf was just a man’s game. The ladies who took part in this tournament 50 years ago – they weren’t just playing golf. They were making a statement. They were building something that would outlast them. And look around today – their vision has become reality”.

While echoing Price Waterhouse’s role as partner of the Ladies Golf tournament, Consulting and Risk Services Leader, Mr Femi Osinubi, said the initiative aligned with the accounting firm’s corporate social responsibility, which is aimed at not only promoting, but also deepening gender equality and other environmentally friendly activities.

A major highlight of the event was the logo design review ceremony, where Aigbogun commended the over 18 secondary schools in Lagos which participated in the logo design competition.

Wahab Folawiyo Senior High School emerged first in the contest, followed by GreenSpring Secondary School and Command Secondary School, Bonny Camp.

They were rewarded with N100,000, N70, 000 and N50, 000 along with brand new computers, respectively.
