There was also a chipping and putting competition, giving each golfer the chance to try their hand at winning additional prizes. Naro Ghanpat won the chipping competition, and Christine Sukhram won the putting competition.
Present at the tournament was Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandalall, who said, “On behalf of the government of Guyana, I would like to extend a merry Christmas to everyone. I want to thank Panko for sponsoring and organizing this event; it is truly a kind gesture. Sports are extremely important to the development agenda of our government, as they keep young people occupied in a beneficial and gainful manner. It is a high-priority item on our government’s agenda. The LGC is public property, and the government will do all that we can to ensure that this facility is kept intact.”
Representing Panko Steel was CEO Amisha Ramsundar, who thanked the golfers for their strong turnout. She also mentioned that the tournament will be an annual event on the LGC golfing calendar.
