Adams eclipses Giddings to produce magic in LGC’s Captain’s Tourney
Carlos Adams eclipsed Eureka Giddings to produce magic in Lusignan Golf Club’s Captain’s Tournament on Saturday, January 13, 2024.
Under great golfing weather conditions, the veteran Adams produced a fantastic double win at the LGC’s Captain’s Net and Birdie Tournament. The 28 handicapper, playing from the Seniors’ Tee-boxes, demonstrated that he still has the magic in his strokes as he produced a magnificent net 66, with seven birdies, which included the equivalent to an albatross on Hole 10. (An albatross is 3 under par. An eagle is 2 under par, and a birdie is 1 under par.)
Upcoming female champion Giddings was barely pipped by Adams as she delivered an excellent net 68, also with seven birdies, playing off a 25 handicap.

While the camaraderie and excitement in the Tournament were visibly refreshing, there was no mistaking the desire of the golfers to produce great competition as they sought to win the 10 great prizes of umbrellas, water bottles, and trophies put up by the Captain, Dr Pope Emanuel London. Prizes were awarded for first to seventh, Best Net, Most Birdies, Longest Drive and Nearest The Pin.
The other net winners were veteran Bridglall Harry, third place with net 69 off handicap 14; (Club Vice President Brian Hackett, fourth with net 70 off handicap 17; (past Captain Patrick Prashad, fifth – net 73 off handicap 9; past Captain Ayube Subhan, sixth – net 73 off handicap 11; and Jaipaul Suknanan, seventh – net 74 off handicap 11. Monnaf Arjune won the Longest Drive prize, while Troy Cadogan ensured he was in the winners’ row by winning the Nearest The Pin prize.
Both Dr London and Vice President Hackett thanked the golfers for their participation, and their making this first tournament of 2024 an encouraging success. Golfers can look forward to great tournaments in this new year.
