The MACORP Golf tournament that concluded last Saturday at the Lusignan Golf Club lived up to expectations and was a definite improvement from the previous years’ tournaments.
According to LGC Secretary Chet Bowling, the tournament was fantastic, and a plethora of players came out to play.
Speaking exclusively with this publication, Bowling was asked to comment on the tournament, and he said, “The tournament was fantastic. I think we had at least 53 players, so that is why we had to split the tournament into two time periods. It felt as though Guyana Open had repeated itself, as it was very competitive, as people were looking forward to win. The prizes were attractive, we had a Caterpillar watch as the number one prize. There were lots of prizes, so people felt that they had a chance to win something, and that motivated them in the tournament.”

Bowling further related that while the weather was a bit stiff, the tournament was still fantastic as the grounds were in good condition; so, although there was a lot of rain, the grounds quickly drained.
He detailed that MACORP continues to demonstrate good corporate social responsibility to the game of golf and Guyana, and it reflected why they are market leaders in what they do, as they understand the need for excellence, which is what they bring to golf.
“For the club, there will be one or two bigger tournaments coming up to the end of the year. Some of our regular sponsors, whom we have worked with over the years, we are hoping to get them. We are a little bit worried about the rainy season and how it is going to affect the game, but as I said, the grounds are in good conditions,” Bowling posited.
The LGC Secretary reiterated optimism that the club would close the 2022 calendar year with a bang. He clarified that they will also be seeking to work on the children’s golf issues by the end of the year, as they would be looking to run off a weekend clinic as 2022 draws near, to keep the children involved.
