Coscharis tickles golfers with Renault in Asaba

By Moses Akaigwe

Coscharis Motors Plc, the exclusive representative of the iconic French automobile brand, Renault Vehicles, in Nigeria, gave friends of the late Golf buff, Chief Luke Uche Okpuno, a memorable experience with the cars in Asaba recently.

The French brand was the centre of attraction at the first memorial tournament held at the Ibori Golf and Country Club in the Delta State capital.

The major highlight of the tournament witnessed by the club members and other guests, was the sponsorship of the Hole-In-One prize of a Renault Duster donated by Coscharis Motors Plc.

This expectedly raised the bar of the tournament with both the pros and others that participated aiming at going home with the star prize. Unfortunately, it was a tall order for any of the golfers that participated to hit the hole in one, but ultimately it still created the real fun of the game for all the participants.

Commenting on the event, Abiona Babarinde, General Manager, Marketing & Corporate Communications, Coscharis Group who represented the sponsor, said, “Our sponsorship of this tournament with a Renault Duster for the Hole-In-One prize amongst other donations made towards the success story of the tournament, was to first and foremost celebrate a loyal customer of Coscharis’ in his lifetime in person of late Chief Luke Uche Okpuno. And, to do that is to key into his favourite sport of golf when he was alive.

“Likewise to be able to create an avenue for his family, friends and well-wishers to come together for a tournament like this in his honour to unwind with the game of golf and at the same time have the opportunity to aspire to own any of the brand new Renault vehicles on display aside the one for the star prize”.

Speaking at the closing ceremony, the coordinator of the tournament and younger brother of late Chief Okpuno, Hon. Gabriel Okpuno, commended Coscharis for the support towards making the dream of organising the tournament in honour his late brother come true. Also present was the captain of the club, Surveyor Jimmy Odogwu.
