The celebration of premium wines, cheeses, and fine dining to complement the championship golf tournament at the LGC– with prizes of premium wines for the winners -proved to be a welcome change to the normal programme of championship golf and meals with trophy prizes. CEO of Wine Cellar, Mrs. Marcia Nadir-Sharma, who was on hand early to inform guests and players on the types of wines and of the blends with the cheeses, was also delighted at the support of the golfers and guests.
She intimated her gratitude for the opportunity of Wine Cellar and Massy Distribution to be sponsors of the tournament, stating that they were committed to the development of sports in Guyana and considered that there would very possibly be future involvement of Wine Cellar.
In the low handicap (0-10) category, Club President Aleem Hussain trailed 3 strokes behind champion Richard Haniff, who stated that, “I just meant to enjoy myself in this tournament, and the company of Anand, Shanella and Eureka greatly encouraged me to maintain a good performance, even exceeding my initial expectations.” Richard offered the Best Gross score of 75 in the tournament. Winners were Richard (66/9) – 1st, and Aleem (69/9) – 2nd. Other notable performances were offered by Patrick Prashad (74/9) and reigning Guyana Open Champion Avinash Persaud (80/2).
In the middle range (11-19) Flight, winners were: Club Secretary, Rabindranath ‘Pandit Ravi’ Persaud (67/18) – 1st, and Club Treasurer, Aasrodeen Shaw (68/15) – 2nd.
