The Ikoyi Club Ladies’ Golf Section, over the weekend, unveiled the official logo for its 50th anniversary tournament, scheduled to take place from November 12 to 15, 2025.
Themed “Go Beyond – Golf and Golfing,” the landmark event seeks to highlight golf’s influence beyond the fairways by promoting environmental preservation, biodiversity, and positive, disciplined lifestyles.
Pioneer member and past ladies’ captain, Mrs. Iyabo Attah, reflected on her golfing journey and the transformation of the club over the past five decades. “It is my desire to see more women embrace the game and encourage their children and wards to also learn the sport,” she said.
The 2025 ladies’ captain, Mrs. Peggy Onwu, described the logo unveiling as a milestone. “It represents 50 years of commitment, skill development, and building connections with women across Africa and beyond,” she noted.
Publisher of BusinessDay Newspapers, Mr. Frank Aigbogun, who chaired the logo design review, praised the resilience of the club’s early female golfers. “The ladies who took part 50 years ago weren’t just playing golf. They were making a statement. They were building something that would outlast them. And today, their vision has become reality,” he said.
Price Waterhouse Consulting and Risk Services Leader, Mr. Femi Osinubi, reaffirmed the firm’s partnership with the tournament, stressing its alignment with corporate social responsibility goals to promote gender equality and environmental initiatives.
A highlight of the ceremony was the logo design competition involving more than 18 Lagos secondary schools. Wahab Folawiyo Senior High School won first place, earning ₦100,000 and a new computer. GreenSpring Secondary School and Command Secondary School, Bonny Camp, came second and third, receiving ₦70,000 and ₦50,000 respectively, along with brand-new computers.
