Kaieteur Sports – The festive atmosphere of Mashramani will extend to the greens this Sunday when the Lusignan Golf Club hosts a Pre-Mash Golf Tournament & BBQ, an event spearheaded by Romel Bhagwandin to merge national celebration with competitive sport.
The nine-hole tournament is scheduled for February 22, with tee-off set for 9:00 AM.
Designed as a build-up to Guyana’s Republic celebrations, the tournament will see golfers competing in a friendly yet competitive environment, with food and drinks provided for players and prizes on offer. Organizers have also incorporated a midday BBQ beginning at 12:00 PM, creating a relaxed, family-oriented setting after the morning’s action on the course.
Entertainment will be provided by Sniper Entertainment, adding to the festive ambiance.
The entrance fee for players is $5,000, while patrons who wish to join the BBQ experience can do so at a cost of $2,000. According to Bhagwandin, the initiative aims to showcase golf as an inclusive sport that can play a meaningful role in national celebrations.
“Mashramani is about celebrating who we are as a people,” Bhagwandin noted. “Golf might traditionally be seen as a quiet, technical game, but it also builds camaraderie and unity. This event is about bringing those elements together in a way that reflects our national spirit.”
The Lusignan Golf Club continues to position itself as a hub for community engagement, and this Pre-Mash tournament reinforces that commitment by opening its fairways to sport enthusiasts and families alike.
With competition in the morning and festivities in the afternoon, the event promises a balanced blend of sport, culture, and celebration as Guyana counts down to Mashramani.
