Speaking on his leadership, Osayande promised to focus mainly on the golf course, noting that members come to the club to play good golf, and it has to be in good condition.

“I am also focusing on discipline in three key areas namely members, employees and caddies. This game, as it is known, is a game based on integrity and everybody has to have the feeling aright all the time.

“This year is a different year for the club, every positions was contested, so, I have a team that we need to get to work. By next week, we will sit and deliberate on how to move the club forward, we have to hit the ground running in time.

“The capital project is to be done. When you look at the golf course now, if you want to make it green all through the year, we need to have water sprint glass. There is need to work on the bunkers so that they are not kick and hard.”

He highlighted the need to introduce cart pass for golf cart at all times, “including rainy season, and for trucks and other vehicles that come into the course. There are many things that need to be done.”
