Ataa Lartey, the Executive Director of the Academy, expressed gratitude to the members of the association for the support and hoped that other individuals and organisations will emulate the gesture.

Ataa Lartey said the presentation would go a long way to support the 2025 edition of its annual dinner for the children and the community.

Also referred to as Christmas and end-of-year celebration, it will be held today at the premises of the Academy at 4pm.

He expressed gratitude to organisations and individuals that have supported the Academy throughout the year and was hopeful the support would be sustained to ensure that more less privileged children were supported.

Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.

In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.

Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.

He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.

He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.

In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.

But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
