At the opening ceremony of the two day event, with 94 international golfers set to battle for top honours, Vice president of the Barbados Golf Association David Phillips also welcomed the visiting team, “This is an exciting time for Caribbean golf and we are happy to see Guyana taking a more visible role in the development of the sport.”
