The challenge has been issued with fascinating prizes up for grabs according to Managing Director Patanjalee ‘Pur’ Persaud who said his company is delighted to continue its support of the LGC and is extremely satisfied with the efforts being made to bring golf to the forefront of sports in Guyana.
This year’s CMS Tourney, which will be played on the Flights system, will tee-off at 9:00h on and offers that anyone who scores a Hole-in-One will carry home a brand new Parsun Outboard Engine.
Additionally, prizes are lined up for Best Gross, Longest Drive, Nearest to The Pin, Best Net and top two places each in the ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ flights. Flight categories are ‘A’ also called the championship flight – handicaps 0 -9; ‘B’ handicaps 10 – 18; and ‘C’ handicaps 19 – 28 for males, and 19 – 35 for females.
Parmanand ‘Max’ Persaud, a senior executive at CMS and himself an avid golfer, has issued a challenge to all golfers and cricketers who feel they can hit a ball a long distance to come test their skills against him as he vows to bring home not just the winner’s trophy but also the longest drive honours.
Meanwhile, the LGC is also offering free lessons and equipment to play during training, for anyone who wishes to learn the game. For further details or queries or for a tour of the facilities please call 220-5660, visit Facebook Lusignan golf club, or visit the Club between 9:00h and 5:00h.
