At the simple handover ceremony, the young Tiwaris expressed their support for the game, and declared how much they and their dad enjoy the sport. Shreveda was especially happy that young women are offered opportunities to participate.
This year Shreveda, a psychology first year student, joins her brother as they pursue their respective degrees of advanced studies.

Female champions Joann Deo and Shanella London will tune up for the Suriname Open, scheduled for October 4-6.
Silica Sands is a local company created sixteen years ago by Pandit Haresh Tiwari, who rose from simple Lusignan roots to become one of the largest exporters of sand to the Caribbean and other countries. The company has a private wharf, mining areas, and the complete logistical facilities to export sand from Guyana to the world market.
Its monthly operational capacity is over 100,000 metric tons of the finest quality sand for the manufacture of glass, for construction purposes, and for the top golf courses in any port the customer desires.
Pandit Haresh has taken an especially deep interest in the LGC, having donated loads of special sand for the greens in an effort to raise the standards of the course and hopefully repeat his victory from the last year when Silica Sands sponsored a tournament.
As always, fans are welcome to visit the course and learn the game absolutely free, with a newly constructed lighted driving range donated by MACORP now fully operational. For more information, interested persons are invited to call 220-5660 or visit the Facebook page lusignan golf club.
