Demerara Mutual Insurance Company continues to make an input to golf locally and today at the Lusignan Golf Course, the entity will brand the golf challenge set to take place among top local golfers.
As the Guyana Open Golf Tournament looms, this weekend is expected to be a very eventful one as golfers look to sharpen their edges ahead of Guyana’s premier golf tournament.

In 2015, the Dem Mutual sponsored tournament was played under the Medal Play system and the top three finishers were Laksmana Ramroop 63/28; Patanjalee Persaud 65/20; Parmanand Max Persaud 67/20 in that order and without doubt they will look to finish atop the field for another successive outing. Meanwhile, best gross was achieved by former Captain Patrick Prashad, nearest to the pin was Gavin Todd, and most honest golfer was rookie output of the 2015 summer Golf Clinic, Leslie Kellman.
Golf Club President, Oncar Ramroop expressed appreciation to Chief Executive Officer of Demerara Mutual Assurance Co., Geoffrey Brewster, for the more than two decades (20 years) of sponsorship of tournaments by Demerara Mutual.
Brewster shared Dem Mutual’s willingness and pleasure to continue to support golfing in Guyana and added that he is interested in taking up the sport himself, having had only a brief introduction to the amazing ‘stationary ball’ sport.
Demerara Mutual Assurance Society (Dem Life) – serving the peoples in the Caribbean for over 12 decades having been established since 1891- one of the main providers of Life, Health, Loss and other financial indemnities in Guyana, where the society is headquartered. The Caribbean islands of St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenandines and Grenada are also home to Dem Mutual. The company has been supportive of golf in Guyana for nearly 25 years.
Golfers can look forward to another refreshing and keenly contested tournament this weekend, as the grounds have been particularly tuned up for excellent greens, well cut fairways, accessible roughs and playable bunkers.
