Christine Sukhram to defend Lusignan Golf Club’s Stableford Tournament title today
Golfers led by defending champion Christine Sukhram will be in action today when they compete in a
Christine Sukhram
competition using the Stableford system at the Lusignan Golf Club ground.
Winner (2006 – 2013) of the Guyana Open Golf Competition female players, Sukhram will be drawing on all her skill as this year’s first Club Tournament.
The peculiarity of the Stableford system is that the winner is the one who scores the highest total points and not the lowest total strokes as in the normal competition. In this system points are awarded for the play at each hole and not for the strokes to sink the ball. If strokes exceed a limit no point is awarded, if strokes are less than the limit points are awarded – the lesser the strokes, the more points. The golfer’s final score is the total points earned for the scores on each individual hole. As a format for club tournaments, Stableford is popular in Europe, the U.K., and South Africa, among other locations. “With careful and skilful play I just may emerge champion again,” Sukhram said of the event. Over the years, Christine has competed and won golf tournaments in Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago and Canada.
Current LGC President David Mohamed indicated that he looks forward to a keen competition as has been consistently observed this year. Up for grabs are 1st to 4th place winners, Best Gross, and Nearest to the Pin, trophies or prizes.
