MACORP CEO Guillermo Escarraga, in delivering the feature address, stressed on the importance of supporting the Lusignan Golf Club. “We understand that golf is a tough game that requires the highest of standards for you to be a good player, and we believe in those high standards and we put them in practice in everything that we do; that is why our association with golf is so important to us. We want to invite the youth to come and play. This is a wonderful game to improve and better yourself, because there are a lot of skills, commitment and discipline that are required, and we want to embrace those values. We want to promote those values through the game of golf in Guyana,” Escarraga declared.
Also speaking at the simple ceremony was Lusignan Golf Club President, Patanjilee Persaud, who praised the MACORP Group. “I would like to congratulate MACORP and CATERPILLAR for playing an important part in assisting the Lusignan Golf Club in its maintenance. We have called on them many times, and they have shown good corporate social responsibility for helping and assisting golf and in general sports.
“Golf is a unique sport. It brings authenticity to persons, it brings out the character in you, it is an ethical game. You are left unto yourself to regulate and monitor yourself,” Persaud declared.
The flights will be Men’s 0-9,10-18, 19-28, and Ladies 0-36. The prizes will be given out from first to third position in each flight based on net scores. There will also be prizes for nearest to flag, longest drive, best net overall-champion player of the day, and best gross.
Moreover, golfing paraphernalia will be distributed to all players, and there will be a card raffle at the end of the presentation ceremony.
All participants are advised to contact the club’s manager on the day of the tournament to collect their score cards, pay the tournament fees, and proceed to their allocated tee boxes to tee off.
