about captain one golf society

Captain 1 Golf Society was founded by the former captain of the Damang Golf Club, Pius Ayeh Appiah in 2017. During his tenure as captain, he was affectionately called ‘Captain 1’ by his fellow golfers because of his contribution to the development of golf, a name he liked and enjoyed.

After finishing his term of office, he decided to set up a charity organization to assist the vulnerable and under-privileged in society. As a golfer, Pius thought it wise to use his talent and expertise to help the society by setting up the captain 1 Golf Society.

The society is made up of golfers and non-golfers with the sole aim of developing the game of golf at the grassroots level.

It is a known fact that many believe golf is a game or sport for the elite and this ‘myth’ discourages others interested in the sport to pursue their dream of becoming golfers due to their background.

Therefore, the society decided to set up a charity event where we would use proceeds from organized events to assist kids in orphanages or vulnerable homes to train them in golf so they can also realize their dream of becoming golfers someday.

The society has so far adopted two orphanages in Tarkwa and Kumasi and it is our hope that we adopt more orphanages in areas where there is a golf club in the country.

The society’s vision and mission statement coupled with our statement of core values informs the procedures and quality of our decision making to achieve excellent results in the game of Golf.
