Kaieteur Sports – Yesterday, the Ministry of Education Unit of Allied Arts Priority Programme in association with the Guyana Golf Association and Nexgen Golf Academy launched the sport as one of the five Priority Areas in Region Two, rolling out the implementation of golf coaches across the region’s Secondary schools.
