Golf is now part of my life just like Guyana and I will always be grateful for the time I spend here. I will miss the course and all the players I played with. We had some keen competition over the years. The Saturday tournaments is what I will miss the most, good days bad days it was all a rewarding experience full of memories. The Lusignan club members are outstanding individuals from whom I learned a lot. The camaraderie and friendship of this club is unpar.”

Also the management committee and its president Pur for their remarkable care of the course. Finally special thanks to my Caddie Harry who was with me since I started. A gentleman I will always remember for helping me over the years.”
