It was a thrill and sweet glory as Munaf Arjune–very happy that the tournament was on his birthday – drove, chipped and putted his way to the 1st place in the exciting Ganesh Parts Inaugural Golf Tournament played Tuesday, May 1 at the Lusignan Golf Course. Rain had caused the tournament to be postponed from Sunday April 22.
An almost full house of players turned up for this inaugural tournament and while the more familiar names did their best, it was Munaf’s confident cool that clearly won the day. According to Munaf – who hadn’t been in the top places for quite a while -”The good feelings I had for my birthday just made the golfing nice, then too I played with President Aleem the day before (on Monday) and received some good inspiration and coaching.”
The fierce competition resulted in some 14 golfers bunching in the Net range of 68-74. Prize winners were Avinash Persaud – Best Gross 70; Roy Cummings – Nearest the Pin (about 10 ft); Parmanand ‘Max’ Persaud – Longest Drive; and Best Net placers:- 4th – Kassim Khan 69/10; 3rd – Ian Gouveia 69/15; 2nd – Mike Mangal 68/8 and 1st – Munaf Arjune 65/10.
Others in the top lineup were Avinash Persaud 70/2; Richard Haniff 70/13; Hilbert Shields 70/18; Brian Hackett 71/19; Patrick Prashad 72/9; Bridgelall Harry 72/16; Haresh Tewari 73/18; Aleem Hussain 74/11; David Harry 74/12; Joaan Deo 74/17; and Ayube Subhan 74/18.
