Gayadin excels, Avinash Persaud scores 2 under par at exciting MACORP Golf Tourney
Golf Club Grounds Superintendent Mike Gayadin led the field again on Saturday as he cruised to an impressive net 63. Playing a good 38 on the front and 40 on the back nine, so grossing 78, Mike’s 15 handicap brought him 63 net (by subtraction from 78). He said, “The course was in great condition, but my chip and putt play were really very good today. I simply played a good day of golf!”Another fantastic feature of the day’s play was the outstanding record and personal best gross 68 scored – 2 points under the 70 that would par the course – by Guyana Open champion Avinash Persaud!
