ABOUT US

The Captain One Golf Society

Captain 1 Golf Society was established in 2017 by Pius Ayeh Appiah, the former captain of the Damang Golf Club. During his tenure, he was affectionately nicknamed ‘Captain 1’ by his fellow golfers in recognition of his significant contributions to the development of golf—a name he cherished.

Upon completing his term, Pius decided to create a charity organisation aimed at supporting the vulnerable and underprivileged in society. Leveraging his passion and expertise in golf, he founded the Captain 1 Golf Society. This society comprises both golfers and non-golfers, united by the goal of promoting golf at the grassroots level.

Many perceive golf as a sport for the elite and wealthy, a misconception that discourages aspiring golfers from pursuing their dreams due to their socio-economic backgrounds. To counter this, the society organises charity events, using the proceeds to support children in orphanages and vulnerable homes. These funds are dedicated to providing golf training, enabling these children to chase their dreams of becoming golfers.
