The Ba Golf Community has been commended by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Professor Biman Prasad for their efforts in promoting sportsmanship, teamwork, and healthy living through the 4 Men Ambrose Golf Tournament held in Ba.



Professor Prasad says it’s encouraging to see sports bringing people together and helping build community spirit.

He says sports create a sense of camaraderie, togetherness and teamwork.



The Deputy Prime Minister says that sports are also important for people’s health, especially as Fiji continues to face the growing challenge of non-communicable diseases.

He further says that recreational sports play a vital role in fostering healthy lifestyles and community unity.
