Cummings in brief remarks said Courts was again pleased to be on board with the tournament, adding that over the years they’ve played a major role in the development of sport in Guyana, and golf is no different.
He, however, anticipated that the tournament will experience further growth locally, and at the same time produce golfers of higher quality.
With Guyana’s premier golf tournament, the Guyana Open fast approaching the one-day tournament is being used to fine tune preparations ahead of next weekend’s Guyana Open Golf Tournament.
Ramroop expressed gratitude to Courts and took the opportunity to highlight the significance of the tournament, referring to it as a precursor to the Guyana Open.
“This tournament is an opportune time for golfers who will definitely use it to fine tune their preparations for the Guyana Open,” Ramroop said.
Saturday’s tournament will take the form of a Flight format and is expected to attract a large turnout with several foreign players expected to participate.
Meanwhile, Ramroop disclosed that preparations for next week’s tournament are almost complete.
The tournament is billed for October 31 and November 1, at the country’s lone golf course at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara.
According to him, registration will be on a first come first serve basis, since the first 80 golfers to register will be eligible to participate.
Interested golfers can confirm their participation by registering via the LGC email address, lusignangolfclub@hotmail.com, or can make contact with the LGC on telephone number 220-5660.
Described as one of the most prestigious tournaments on the local golf calendar, the two-day event is expected to attract golfers from Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Suriname, French Guiana and North America.
Meanwhile, apart from the usual categories: First Flight (0-9 handicap), Second Flight (10-18), Third Flight (19-28) and Ladies Flight, the club has decided for the first time in its history to introduce a Senior Flight.
