Guyana’s best golfers are expected to come out in force this Saturday (tomorrow) from 12:30hrs for the Unique Group Golf Tournament sponsored by one of the country’s premiere importers of vehicles.
The dry weather has transformed the strategies of many of the top players who now have to approach the far harder greens with caution, while also enjoying greater distance off the tees. Favourites to watch are Alfred Mentore who has vastly improved his accuracy off the tees, and Chatterpaul Deo who is on a winning streak and playing well below his 13 handicap.
And one can never rule out Mohan Dinanauth whose ability on the long drives gives him a great advantage.
This tournament begins what will be a packed calendar for the month of September and October as players prepare for the marquee two-day events sponsored by Digicel and the biggest prize of all, the Guyana Open sponsored by Banks DIH.
At the end of September a large group will travel to Suriname to play in the Paramaribo club’s invitational and it is hoped that Guyana will bring home some trophies competing on what is always a tricky course.
