The rainy season has abated somewhat and the current weather conditions are conducive to a great tournament. Top golfer, Joaan Deo has been in impressive form recently and had clinched the honours in the most recent championships staged at that venue last week. Several other players have also been in great form including Brian Hackett, Christine Sukram, Patrick Persaud and Fazil Haniff. The latter player had clinched the prize for the player with the best gross in the last championship. Many more talented players will be on show.
Meanwhile, Brands Manager (DDL), Maria Munroe handed over the sponsorship package to the organizers, while reminding that this is the second year that his company has been performing such honours. She also committed to the continuance of such chivalry over the coming years.
“The management of DDL recognizes golf as a growing sport in Guyana and we remain committed to its development,” said the Brands Manager. She also noted the involvement of young people and noted that their involvement is indeed a pleasing development.
Ms Munroe further issued a warning to Ms Deo that she (Munroe) is contemplating her involvement in the sport and the golf queen ought to be circumspect of such an eventuality. The sponsors will also be offering a complimentary drink dubbed, ‘Chairman’s Special’ to the players and fans. Mrs. Munroe also wished all the players well in the tournament.
Club Secretary David Mohamed expressed gratitude to the DDL executive and assured that the gift will go a far way towards the success of the tournament. Trophies will be presented to the first three players with the best gross, the player with the best net, the player closest to the pin and the player that accomplishes the longest drive.
Renovations to the golf course have resulted in improved playing conditions with the greens and fairways in immaculate condition while the tee boxes and rough areas are nicely cut.
