The tournament will start at 11:00hrs in an effort to ensure that enormous amount of players who are attracted to the tournament get time to finish as the days grow shorter. There will be magnificent trophies and prizes for three categories of play and specialty awards for longest drive and nearest to pin.
Ansa McAl has been a staunch supporter of the LGC and Managing Director Troy Cadogan has been in the winner’s circle several times this year, including emerging as Champion in his flight in the Lusignan Open. This will be the third event for Ansa Mc Al at the LGC having hosted the Suzuki Motors Invitational and co-hosting the Lusignan Open.
Speaking at the launching of the tournament yesterday at Ansa McAl head office, Beterverwagting, East Coast Demerara, Cadogan said, “We have seen the dramatic improvements in the amount of playing time, quality and condition of the grounds and feel that with the direction that the LGC is moving, Ansa McAl will be there to assist. “I have seen the transformation of the Club as it has risen to a whole new level and hope that other members and companies will join in supporting us as we continue to improve.”
Cadogan was especially grateful to the media for the extra effort they have made over the past year to bring golf to the forefront of sports and thanked them for going beyond the call of duty. “Our success has been mainly due to you guys who have given our story to the public and brought more attention to the sport.”
Speaking on behalf of the LGC, President Aleem Hussain stated that it was the constant support of its members and sponsors that made it possible for the current conditions and if past Presidents and Executive members had not laid the foundation, the club would not have experienced this explosive growth. “We had leaders such as Past Presidents Hilbert Shields, Shyam Ramroop, Jerome Khan, David Mohamed and Brian Hackett who struggled through the lean times but kept the club functioning so that now we can reap the rewards.”
He noted that many of the ideas he has implemented were those shared by the previous administrations and all he has done was to move the dreams into reality. “At the end of the day, the names and faces will change but the LGC has to also change to ensure that we deliver the services expected of us.”
Brand Coordinator Timothy Sammy said the company decided to showcase the Dewar’s brand as a stand-alone (last year it teamed Heineken with Dewar’s to host its annual golf tournament) feeling that the premium liquor has made a name of its own and should be recognized accordingly. Dewar’s is available at Mattai’s, Bounty, Massy and all major supermarkets nationwide.
This event will be the grand finale for Ansa McAl and players and the public are urged to come out tomorrow, Saturday November 9th, as the company will offer great deals and samples on Dewar’s and other branded products.
