Accra, Ghana – Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC successfully hosted the 2026 Guinness Ghana Annual Golf Championship at the Achimota Golf Club, bringing together golfers, corporate leaders, government officials, business executives, media, and invited guests for a full day of
competition, hospitality, networking and lifestyle experiences.
The championship, which teed off at 6:30am on Saturday, 30th May 2026, attracted over 120 golfers and guests, reinforcing its growing place as one of Ghana’s notable sporting and lifestyle platforms. The event built on the success of the inaugural edition and further positioned
Guinness Ghana as a business committed to creating high-value experiences that connect people, brands, sport and community.
The day began with golfers arriving for registration and breakfast before the official tee off. At 8:00am, the ceremonial tee off brought together key leaders including Frédéric Féraille, Managing Director of Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC; Dr. Felix Elvis Addo, Board Chairman of Guinness Ghana; Leonard Kweku Okyere, President of the Ghana Golf Association; Emmanuel Quarcoo, Captain of Achimota Golf Club; and Ishmael Yamson, Board Chairman of MTN.
Across the course, golfers enjoyed a relaxed but competitive atmosphere, with refreshment moments at selected holes, warm networking and premium brand engagements from Guinness Ghana’s portfolio, including Guinness, Johnnie Walker, Heineken and Malta Guinness. Even
when the rains came later in the day, the energy of the championship remained strong, with players, guests and partners staying fully engaged through the awards ceremony, dinner, UEFA Champions League viewing experience and the Mirror Ball after-party.
Speaking at the event, Frédéric Féraille, Managing Director of Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC, described the championship as more than a golf tournament. “To us at Guinness Ghana, this tournament is about people, relationships and investing in a community that has welcomed us, challenged us, and given us a reason to keep coming back. A partnership is a promise kept over time. We are not here for one good day and then gone tomorrow. We intend to stay, invest, and build something meaningful together.”
A major highlight of this year’s championship was the announcement of a three-year partnership between Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC and Achimota Golf Club. Under the partnership, Guinness Ghana will support the club’s Monthly Medal competitions and help elevate the
clubhouse experience through improved refreshment, hospitality and brand visibility.
The competition produced strong performances across the various categories. In Category A Men, Sena Ababio emerged winner, with Philip Ayesu and Ebo Anderson placing second and third respectively. In Category A Ladies, Letitia Amponsah-Mensah took first position, followed by Charity Vogel and Catherine Fabbi.
Other standout winners included Stephen Onaivi, winner of Category B Men; Lucy Osei Somuah, winner of Category B Ladies; Kwaku Okyere, winner of Seniors Men; and Elizabeth Essel-Koomson, winner of Seniors Ladies. Special honours also went to Majdi Joher, who won both Longest Drive Men and Best Gross Men, while Mary Prempeh won Best Gross Ladies.
The championship was further strengthened by the support of key partners who helped elevate the experience. Caveman Watches collaborated with Guinness Ghana and Johnnie Walker on a special lifestyle piece featuring the iconic Striding Man, a bold expression of craftsmanship, style and everyday sophistication. Devtraco Group supported the awards experience with premium hospitality rewards, while Vivo Energy, through Shell V-Power, contributed to the celebration of performance, drive and excellence. These partnerships reflected the broader spirit of the championship: bringing together strong Ghanaian and global brands to create memorable experiences for communities.
Dr. Felix Elvis Addo, Board Chairman of Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC, noted that the championship reflects the values that have guided Guinness Ghana for more than sixty years. “Golf is built on patience, discipline and respect. These are not only the marks of a good golfer;
they are also the marks of a good business and a good citizen. We are proud to support a platform where business, friendship and culture meet.”
The President of Achimota Golf Club also commended Guinness Ghana for choosing the club as the home of the championship and welcomed the three-year partnership as an important step in strengthening the club’s sporting and hospitality experience.
