The 2009 local golf season will get underway today with the Annual Guyana Oil Company (GuyOil) sponsored Medal Play tournament at the Lusignan Golf Club with most of the country’s top players expected to take part.
Following recent incessant rain that left the Lusignan course unplayable, the ground staff under the supervision of Mike Mangal has returned the course to its former glory for what players and officials anticipate this to be a busy season.
Club Secretary Ronald Bulkan disclosed that 36 approximately golfers are expected to compete this weekend.
He said the course is in fine shape and encouraged players and those interested in the game to attend today’s action.
The GuyOil tournament was originally scheduled for December last year but was postponed because of the inclement weather, Bulkan said.
