The Ghana Golf Association (GGA) held a training workshop for journalists on golf reporting to promote fairness and accuracy in coverage on October 29, 2025.
The workshop educated journalists on ethical reporting and emphasised the importance of using appropriate terminologies and technical language when covering golf events to enhance visibility across social media and other media platforms.
Special emphasis was placed on fairness and transparency, with journalists urged to avoid bias and ensure that all relevant details about events are included in their reports.

The GGA announced that plans are underway to incorporate golf into school sports programs, allowing students to participate during periodic games.
They indicated that pilot programs have already begun in some institutions, yielding positive results, with the process still ongoing.
The association noted that some young individuals involved in golf have received scholarships to study abroad, while others have traveled internationally to gain experience in golf training.
During the workshop, the Treasurer of the Ghana Golf Association, Rodney Odoi, stated, “School golf will be introduced, and success will be when it is added to the golf calendar. We are working on securing higher education opportunities for some golfers, with some already sent to Scotland on scholarship. We will also be engaging corporate women in golf to encourage more female participation in the sport.”
Meanwhile, the General Secretary of the GGA, Solomon Allotey, encouraged the public to get involved in golf, stressing that it is not as expensive as commonly perceived, although it does require some financial investment.
