The weather was good, the golf course was in excellent condition and so was the mood of the golfers as they vied for supremacy in one of the usual highlight tournaments of the year, – the annual Trophy Stall Golf Tournament – of Saturday August 25, 2018, played in the now refreshing Flights format.
Managing Director and Proprietor of Trophy Stall Mr Ramesh Sunich, outstanding for his contribution of trophies, support and sponsorship to several sports disciplines in Guyana, such as boxing, basketball, cricket and football to name a few, being commited to the development of golfing in Guyana, sponsored another annual Trophy Stall Golf Tournament, which he started doing since 2009.
