Additionally, dozens of backpacks were donated by Aleena and William Knight from New York to aid with the school programme.

Head of the Priority Programme Saeed Zameen said the prizes would be given to top performers in the golf Programme and thanked the donors for their awesome support.

With the expansion of the Ministry of Education Unit of Allied Arts Priority Programme to an additional 16 schools (44 in just three months) where learners must be exposed to a sport, the need for equipment has increased and thanks to the generosity of golfers, the GGA continues to meet the demand.

Golf club donations from Ray Ramroop, Ron Dhanram, Henry Dunn and Anam Shaw Ali from Orlando, Dr. Altaf Souvani and Darwin Sham from Ottawa, and Guyanese Daphne Samaroo and Mike Mangal were recently received.

President of the GGA Aleem Hussain said, “It is clear that our efforts to grow the game over the past few years is catching the attention of golfers and supporters and we are grateful for their support. We submitted a proposal recently to the government that will put Guyana on the international stage for golf and with more golf courses now under construction, our goal of turning Guyana into a Golf Destination is close to being realized”.
