Returning an excellent net 61 on a day that was ideal for golf, Rabindranath ‘Pandit Ravi’ Persaud, contended that, “It was Captain Chatterpaul Deo and my group members –Munaf Arjune and Roy Cummings– who pushed me, because I had so much to do today that I was not really focussing on my play.”
In addition he thanked Pope Emmanuel, of whom he said, “He’s been working all those miracles on the TV, well this is a miracle he worked for me today!”
Munaf Arjune, Business Associate representing Bramanand Persaud, Chief Executive Officer of Silvies, was on hand to distribute prizes and show Silvies’ continued support for the development of golfing in Guyana.
