Ex-Super Eagle turned golfer, Osaze Odemwingie

The Professional Golfers Association (PGA) had on Tuesday said the former Nigerian player graduated from the PGA school last month, successfully moving from football after spells with West Bromwich Albion Cardiff City, and Stoke City among other clubs.
While giving insights into his transition to golf, Osaze said determination was key to his graduation from the PGA school.
I am someone who has a goal. I gave it a good shot. It was hard. People quit this degree in year two; a lot of boys cant cope with the volume [of study]. It was hard. But my Nigerian spirit helped me persevere through the year two when there was a lot to do study-wise, he said on Mondays edition of Channels TelevisionsSports Tonight.
He said the game gives him time to be with his family since his children are still young. Osaze does not rule out going into coaching in the coming years.
