Patanjalee ‘Pur’ “I love the winning feeling” Persaud carted off the David De Caires/Basil Sukhram Memorial golf tournament at the Lusignan Golf Course last Saturday.
Exactly one month ago ‘Pur’ had also emerged champion in the ANSA McAL tournament at the same venue. Acknowledging that, “The greens were a bit tough, because the grass was cut very low, and extra concentration was required not to over-putt the ball,” ‘Pur’ was happy that he was able to deliver such a good day’s play.
For the day’s competition, five prizes were awarded and the winners of these prizes were as follows: Best Net – ‘Pur’ Persaud 25/70, 2nd – Patrick Prashad 9/71 and 3rd Captain ‘Chen’ Deo, 15/71. Nearest to the Pin was won by Mike Mangal, (the only golfer to place the ball on the green in this tournament) and Best Gross was won by Imran Khan 7/79.
Daughter of the late Basil Sukhram, Guyana Open’s long reigning female champion Christine Sukhram, who participated in the day’s competition, was on hand to hand out the prizes to the winners.
Club President, David Mohamad cited how important it was to remember the great contribution that some former golfers had made to the Lusignan Golf Club, and expressed his appreciation for the continued good spirit exuded by the golfers as they competed.
