Considering business as a pleasant service to his customers, Curry, as the CEO is more familiarly known began playing golf early in 2019 (less than a year), sponsored his inaugural golf tournament on Saturday April 20, 2019, and continues to give great support to the Lusignan Golf Club.
Played as a straight medal-play tournament without Flights, prizes were given to the first five net scorers as well as to the Best Gross winner.
