El Dorado 6th Annual Golf tournament tees off Saturday
Golfers will take to the Lusignan Greens this Saturday when the sixth annual El Dorado Golf Tournament tees off from 12:30h.
El Dorado Rum Brand Manager Maria Munro, at a brief press conference on Monday, June 4, noted that Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) and El Dorado over the years have been supportive of many sports in Guyana and the company commits to continue in this vein as it sees sports as a healthy form of development and entertainment.
Despite persistent rainy weather over the past month, enthusiasm is electric as golfers look forward to this annual open. Apart from the potential action set to be on show, the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) will have a raffle for players and the public.
El Dorado will give away hampers while an e-ticket can be obtained from the LGC Facebook page, or from any Club member; it is adequate to give you a coupon which you fill out, then place in a box for the raffle.
