The long-awaited Crown Mining Supplies Golf Tournament is set to tee off this Saturday, January 15, 2022 at 12:30 pm, with keen competition set to storm the greens. This was announced at a simple ceremony held on Wednesday at Crown Mining’s Lot 9 North Road location in Georgetown.
Speaking at a simple ceremony, Vice President of the Lusignan Golf Club, Paton George, noted that the club is excited to be hosting its first tournament for 2022. He explained that the Crown Mining Supplies Golf tournament is one of the major tournaments of the year, and this kicks off what the club expects to be a good 2022 season.

“All players must observe all COVID protocols. Golf lends itself to social distancing naturally, so we are blessed in that area; but we still, before the tournament, at the press conferences, announce and insist that we follow all COVID guidelines,” Paton George has posited.

He divulged that he expects a good turnout for the tournament, and despite the rains, the ground is in excellent condition. He clarified that while it has been a month since the club has had a tournament, with the tournament being Crown Mining, it would be a big thing among the players.
Sharing her bit was Nadine Persaud, one of the Executive Managers. She thanked the LGC for accommodating the annual sponsorship of the company, owing to the fact that it has been close to seven years since they have been sponsoring tournaments at the club.
“It’s always a pleasure in participating with the club in promoting recreational and sports activities in Guyana. As a company, we strive more to participate in sports and in society, and to give back to society in some way, and we are happy to do that through golf. We’d like to thank members of the golf club for encouraging golf and sports in Guyana,” Persaud explained.
The format of the tournament is a Medal play over 18 holes net scores in three flights shotgun start. The three flights are players-9-and under handicap, 10-18 handicap, and 19-36 handicap.

Aside from first position receiving prizes in all three flights, to add the icing on the cake, Crown Mining has extended its generosity by providing a second-place prize in all three flights and additional gifts for the tournament on Saturday.
Prizes would also be given for nearest to the flag, longest drive, best net overall (first, second and third), and best gross.
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.
Crown Mining Supplies is the exclusive distributor of a wide array of Tolsen construction equipment, such as Vibratory Roller, Tamping Rammer, Concrete Cutter, Double Drum Roller, Vibrator Poker and Vibrator, Reversible Spoil Plate Compactor, Plate Compactor, Single Drum Roller, Ransom Concrete Mixer, among others.
Presentation of prizes will be held upon completion of the tournament, at around 5:30pm. Persons interested in registering are asked to contact Lusignan Golf Club on 220-5660. Registration closes on Friday January 14, 2022 at noon.
