Kaieteur Sports – On Saturday, June 24, 2023, the Lusignan Golf Club bid farewell to outgoing Chief Executive Officer of MACORP Guyana, Guillermo Escarraga.
LGC Secretary Chet Bowling, noted that Escarraga has been promoted within the MACORP group to Senior Vice President of Product Support. “For the last ten years Guillermo and MACORP, under his leadership and guidance and love for golf, has ensured that MACORP has continued to sponsor golf tournaments, provide monetary and in kind support to maintain the grounds of our golf club. They have also maintained our sign, put up signs indicating key information at each hole and host to the annual MACORP Golf Tournament each year,” Bowling shared.
He also noted that on a personal level Escarraga shared a love and passion for the sport. Bowling went on to relay that Escarraga has made a great contribution to the game of golf at the LGC and gave his word that even in his absence MACORP will continue to host its annual tournament.
Also, sharing his bit was outgoing CEO MACORP Guyana, Guillermo Escarraga, who said, “I was fortunate to have the chance to learn the game of golf in Guyana. It was a great journey for me. 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.”
Escarraga divulged that having the opportunity to represent LGC and Guyana was a thrill. He shared that playing abroad and having the confidence that one can have a good round of golf, is the best takeaway from his time at the LGC. He also reiterated that during his time at the club his most memorable tournament was the Guyana Open where he scored his best net overall, something which he deemed as his greatest accomplishment.
In closing Escarraga said, “I just want to thank the management and staff of the Lusignan golf course for their dedication and support. 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.”
