Mr Theophilus V.A. Mensah, Director of Finance and Administration of TCCL, said the company sponsored the competition as part of its Corporate Social Responsibilities.
He urged the golf clubs to train the youth so that they can take over from them when they are old and can no longer play the game.
Mr Mensah urged Ghanaians to discard the notion that the game was for the rich since anyone at all can play.
Nana Dr Ani Agyei, Captain of the Tema Country Golf Club commended the company for sponsoring the competition and called on golfers to take active interest in the activities of the club.
