Current President Aleem Hussain and Executive team, at the request of Past President Hemraj Kissoon has made tremendous efforts to expand the appeal of the game of golf to a wide range of participants and His Excellency Jose Hurtado Contreras is the latest addition to a long list of dignitaries who are now a part of the club.
The Ambassador stated that he was very impressed and vowed to make the commitment of getting involved in the sport along other members of his embassy. “I am very grateful to the Club’s President and Executive for extending this honour to myself and family and we all look forward to being at the club on a regular basis, and to extend the hand of friendship between our countries.”
During the past two years, the sport of golf has seen a dramatic increase in the number of events, members and activities both on and off the course. Major contributions by Macorp has aided the development of the grounds and allowed more playing days than ever before. This year, the LGC will host several special events starting with the Easter Family Gathering where thousands of families descend upon the grounds for a festival of kite flying. Bishop Griffith welcomed the Ambassador on behalf of the Executive team and members. “We look forward to having you being a frequent visitor to our wonderful facility.”
