The Achimota Golf Club in Saturday bestowed their prestigious Emeritus award on MTN Board Chairman, Ishmael Yamson for his over four decades association and dedication to the distungusihed outfit.
Presented by Achimota Golf Club President, Frank Adu at their maiden invitational tournament at the premier golf club in Accra on Founders Day, September 21, the gong is meant to honour Mr. Yamson’s “remarkable contributions and unwavering commitment to the club over the past forty years.”
The Achimota Golf Club chief also announced that Mr. Yamson will now be exempted from paying membership dues or fees for life, highlighting especially his instrumental role in the establishing the famous ‘Half House’ on the greens of the premie golf course, a facility where golfers could take a break and refresh before continuing their game.
“From this day forward, he can walk in at any time to play golf without any charges, and he is permanently excused from paying any dues,” Mr. Adu said.
In his acceptance speech, Mr. Yamson expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the club for acknowledging his contributions. He encouraged all members to remain loyal to the Achimota Golf Club by honouring their obligations and supporting the club’s growth and future success.
“The tournament saw spirited competition, with Mr. Frederick Semenu Duvour emerging as the men’s champion, while Mrs. Vastie Amoafo Yeboah claimed victory in the women’s category,” said an MTN statement.
“The event not only celebrated outstanding performances on the course but also reaffirmed the strong ties between MTN and the Achimota Golf Club, with this being the beginning of a promising partnership,” it concluded.
