On hand representing Nand Persaud & Company, of No. 36/37 Village, Neville, Corentyne, (Tel:592-325-3562/3) – the producers of Karibee Rice– was Mr Jai Prakash Keshwani, who extended the support declared by Mr. Devesh Persaud during the week as “proud to be associated with the LGC and hope to be a major part of its development in the coming years”. Nand Persaud & Co, is Guyana’s leading producer of all kinds of Karibee Rice – “a must for your family” – including parboiled rice, white rice, and pet rice.
The winners of the day’s tournament were, Nazeem Haniff – Best Gross (78) edging out Richard Haniff with the same Gross score; 4th place Best Net –Nazeem Haniff 70/8; 3rd Joaan Deo 69/17; 2nd Richard Haniff 68/10 and 1st Hilbert Shields 66/18. Others who came close to the fore were Parmanand Persaud – showing great improvement – 71/13; Vijay Deo 72/9; Clifford Reis 72/25; and Lekhnarine Shivraj 73/18.
Also on hand were Honorary Counsel of Malaysia to Guyana, Mr. Vic Oudit and his wife Dawn who assisted in the distribution of the prizes to the winners, (and who was celebrating her birthday that day). Mr. Oudit indicated, “I am delighted at and fully in support of the development of the Club house, the course, the lawns and the ambience of the Lusignan Golf Club, having known it for several years now. In fact, I am determined to bring my friends and expose them to the great atmosphere here, and to promote the Club and golfing in Guyana. Already one of my friends was also so impressed today that he immediately enrolled his wife and children as members of the Club.”
The atmosphere and camaraderie were truly great, in fact champion Mr. Shields expressed two significant things regarding his win. “Firstly, I was very relaxed and played so well today because of the great company I played with – Messrs Clifford Reis and Mark Lashley. Secondly, being also from the Corentyne, (Alness Village,) I was determined to make a special effort to celebrate this great gesture of our sponsor – Nand Persaud & Company – all the way from the Corentyne.”
