Harry had a Gross of 78, HC of 13 and Net 65 while also bagging the nearest to the pin prize. Second place went to Tom Watkins with Gross of 72, HC 7 and Net 65 and in third place was Rakesh Harry with a Gross of 80, HC 14, and Net 66. Watkins also took the coveted prize of best front nine with scores of Gross 34, HC 7, Net 31, while the best back nine prize went to Rakesh Harry with scores of Gross 40, HC 14 and Net 33.
In an interview with Guyana Times Sport, LGC Secretary Chet Bowling said, “The feeling was great, I think a lot of members were suffering from tournament deprivation. They were happy to get back on the course as the competition was stiff, but definitely it was noticeable that members were suffering from not playing a lot of games; hence they were off their game. However, some people were still on the game, so we had a very competitive tournament.”
The winners’ row at the end of the competition
In terms of what was next on the agenda for the Golf Club, Bowling noted that the Guyana Open was slated for October 30-31, 2021 with a practice day and reception on the 29th. He related that there would be a few warm-up tournaments before the Guyana Open such as the MACORP Golf Tournament which is usually the weekend before the Guyana Open.
“In early October, we are also partnering with the American Chamber of Commerce to host the AmCham Cup, the first annual tournament of this kind and sponsors lined ahead, so great things ahead for the LGC,” Bowling added.
The first-place winner of the Hallmark and C&L Construction Inc tourney carted off a trophy plus a $5000 voucher, second place a trophy plus a $4000 voucher and third place a trophy plus a $3000 voucher. For the best net front nine, a trophy plus $1500 voucher were awarded; best net back nine, a trophy plus $1500 voucher; and nearest to the flag, a trophy plus $1000 voucher.
