Canadian High Commissioner Francois Montour showed great appreciation to the tough conditions at Lusignan Golf Course over the weekend when he won the RRT Enterprises Golf Tournament.

The Inclement weather once again posed a challenge to the golfers but Montour came out on top and won himself a gift certificate for a full service package on his car valued $15,000 compliments of the sponsors.
Many of the players were required to use mathematical skills not deployed since high school to figure out a format which rewarded a plus for a birdie, 0 for a par and a minus for a bogey. Montour ended with a score of plus four, the only player to get a plus figure.
Second place went to Canadian–based Jaipaul Suknanan with Brian Glasford securing the third position with -1. Nearest to the pin for the second week in a row was Esau Shamshudin.
Sean Ramrattan Chief Executive Officer of RRT Enterprise thanked the club for accepting the sponsorship and said he was happy to be involved in promoting golf in Guyana while pledging to come up and hit some balls soon.
The certificate he presented for the winner included a full wheel alignment, brake and oil checks amongst other services. Club Treasurer Brian Hackett in turn thanked Ramrattan for sponsoring a tournament two years in a row.
