A record 152 golfers from across the country participated in the 2020 edition of the CalBank Open Golf Championships, which concluded on Saturday 28th November, 2020 at the Achimota Golf Course.
The event, which was originally scheduled for 10th October had to be pushed forward after heavy downpour rendered the course unplayable on the original day.
