Odoh in Fresh Talks with Sponsor
*Has Eyes on Asian Tour
Nigeria's leading pair in International Tour Oche Odoh and Willy Gift who are in the country after a Sunshine Tour break from South Africa are talking tough and among other thing hopes to take their exploits in professional golf to new heights.
"I did not do well in the first half of the on-going season in South Africa because of some personal issues that I have to settle. And that is part of what I am here to take care of in this my stay in Nigeria before the summer season gets underway" Oche Odoh told Businessday in Abuja at his first showing at a local event in 2007.
The twenty-five year two time national number one said he would have made more appearance final of sunshine tour event this year if not for the challenges he said he had.
"My sponsors too are worried because they know I can do better than I have done"
ULO consultants Odohs sponsors since he turned professional who also were responsible for his entire feature on the Sunshine Tour; Businessday can reveal are renewing his contract which covers the expenses, branding, and perhaps an offer to have the former number one head for the United States, Europe or the Asian tour.
"As for me if the arrangements are right I think the Asian Tour suites me better. Having been in South Africa for some time and seeing that some of my colleagues over there that play on the Asian Tour (which is less competitive) are given more exemptions to play on other Tours, I believe that it portends for us especially in Nigeria access to have more tries on the bigger league, so if I have seriously been considering the Asian tour, but it all depends on the outcome of my contract negotiation with my sponsor."
Chief Uche Okpuno the chairman of ULO consultants and the president of the Golf Union of Nigeria had last year at the finals of the ULO Consultants Pro-Am announced that his company was on the verge of taking Oche Odoh away to the United State of America where they hope to arrange on lesser Tour that could graduate him to the PGA Tour.
