THE ASANTEHENE Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has paid glowing tribute to golf as a sport, stressing that golf has made him look younger than his age. The occupant of the Golden Stool stated that his involvement with golf has largely accounted for his amazing strength despite the fact that he is in his 60s. According to him, aside golf which he plays every morning, he also usually does gym work to remain fit always. The Asantehene said the combination of golf and gym works were the secret behind his youthful nature and sound health. He was speaking at the grand ceremony to climax the 79th annual Ghana Open Golf Championship played at the Royal Golf, Kumasi, over the weekend. Otumfuo recommended that Ghanaians should patronize golf which has moral values such as honesty, courtesy and integrity, which are very vital for the transformation of the human being and society at large. Still praising golf as a sport, the Asantehene noted that �I am healthy because of golf,� promising that he would do everything within his power to make golf develop in the country.
