According to Cosmas Maduka, President/CEO, Coscharis Group affirmed the commitment of Coscharis Motors to always delight its esteemed customers with the game of golf.
“For us at Coscharis as the exclusive representative of the globally respected iconic auto brand of BMW, it is always an opportunity to host our ever loyal BMW customers and hot prospects alike in a relaxed environment enjoying the beautiful sport of Golf. You will all agree with me that this period of the year is just perfect to say thank you for your patronage through the year despite all odds.
“Our expectation is that our top winners from this national qualifier will not only represent us at the BMW World Golf but will return as the first ever winner of the “Major” from sub-Saharan Africa. But all the same, we congratulate all our winners and players who have showed the sporting spirit, which is so much part of the game of golf.
Abiona Babarinde, General Manager, Marketing & Corporate Communications, Coscharis Group, added the yearly event is to discover golfers that will represent Coscharis Motors and Nigeria at the World Golf Cup.
“We are having this BMW tournament as an exclusively representative of BMW in Nigeria and yearly, we do participate at the BMW World Golf Tournament and by the virtue of the fact that we are going to have our representative, that is why we do our own local tournament where we select top golfers that will represent Coscharis Motors and BMW at the World Golf Cup.”
Abiona, who is also a representative of BMW Nigeria, further said aside the fun and golf actions; the event provides Coscharis Motors the opportunity to reward and network with their customers.
“Because the business idea is also to have a platform courtesy of BMW and Coscharis to network with our customers we try to delight always.
“This year’s tournament is taking place at the Lakowe Golf Course and is also a way to say thank you to our partners, customers, BMW enthusiasts and prospect alike. It is for them to come and enjoy the beautiful game of golf, just the way they enjoy BMW drive. The last edition took place at the IBB golf course, and we decide to move it round where our customers also reside.
The beauty of this year’s edition is that we have also brought our other stakeholders, partners, brands like Access Bank, MTN, Techno Mobile and Wakanow.
From 5th to 10th March 2017, over 1000 golfers from 50 countries, culminating in a 54 hole, will participate at the BMW Golf Cup International at the most beautiful golf resorts. The national winners and their guests will travel to the largest and most exciting city in the United Arab Emirates for the highlight of the BMW Golf Cup International on the planet at the Emirate Golf Club, Dubai.
