Renovate Golf facilities, Emehelu tells course managers
Sam Emehelu, a golf consultant, on Wednesday advised that with ongoing lockdown of recreational centres, golf course administrators should focus on revamping the golf courses across the nation.
Emehelu gave the advice in an interview with the Nigerianews24 in Lagos.
He said that the Coronavirus pandemic and restrictions should encourage stakeholders to look inwards and focus on the positive.
“I think this is the right time to ensure that we all put our golf courses in perfect shape, there should be a lot of renovations going on.
“So that by the time life returns to normal, the golf courses will not be looking unkempt.
“If we put in the work now and renovate, the pressure won’t be much before government lifts ban on hotels and resorts.
“I think this whole pandemic thing will reshape our thinking eventually. It will make us notice the things that we probably took for granted,” he said.
Emehelu told our correspondents that the effect of the pandemic cuts across every area of human life and not just peculiar to golf.
“Everything has to change, we all need to put on our thinking caps and make the best out of a bad situation, we can channel our energy on the positive.
“Focus on what is important and continue to look for ways to improve the game,” he said.

Argentina captain Lionel Messi has equaled Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 10 international hat-tricks after scoring three times in a dominant 6-0 victory against Bolivia in a 2026 World Cup qualifier.
In addition to his goals, the 37-year-old forward also provided two assists, showcasing his playmaking abilities. With this win, Argentina solidifies its position in the South American qualifiers, currently leading the table three points ahead of second-placed Colombia and six points clear of their arch-rivals Brazil.
On the same evening, Ronaldo’s Portugal faced Scotland in the UEFA Nations League but was held to a frustrating 0-0 draw, leaving the superstar visibly upset post-match.
Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho, is reportedly planning a January transfer move for Barcelona forward Ansu Fati. After spending last season on loan at Brighton in the Premier League, Fati, now 21, returned to Barcelona but has struggled for game time under new coach Hansi Flick.
Once considered a potential successor to Lionel Messi, Fati’s limited opportunities at Barça have fueled speculation about a possible departure. According to *AS*, Mourinho is keen to bring the Spain international to the Turkish league, offering him the chance for regular football at Fenerbahce.
Fenerbahce’s sporting director, Mario Branco, is expected to initiate discussions with Fati’s representatives soon, confident that the promise of consistent playing time will help secure the forward’s move.
