2007-02-18 Vanguard - Sports : Celtel promise more support for golf

Chidi Tobias, Nigerias first handicap pro was two shots better than the Q-School higly rated Sunday Odegha (the best qualifying trainee). But in Abeokuta, Tobias played the worst golf of his entire career shooting 14 over par on day one of the OBJ Nation-wide Golf Tourism Exposition. "I was so disappointed I decided not to play the second day. This is my course (Hilltop) and I never expected to play that badly here. I know its stress. I have been playing golf non-stop since Minna where we spent a week. From Minna, we travelled to Ada and from Ada to Abeokuta. I was tired and needed time to rest," he said. The Ikeja-based pro however, promised a better Tour as he is hungry for honours. I know I have what it takes to do well on the tour. The OBJ golf is just one out of the lot and I am going back to put my acts together," he said.
