Eureka Giddings, Pope Emanuel, Shanella London victorious at recent LGC tournament
Pope Emanuel London, Eureka Giddings and Shanella London were the ones to watch last Saturday as the Lusignan Golf Club staged its recent tournament. The trio were in sync, and made excellent use of the conditions on the course.
The format of the three-man team tournament, dubbed “The Weakest Link”, was Medal play over 18 holes, and the intention was to have a team of three players, one from each flight, with the combined net scores being totalled and divided by three to get the net score of the team.

The winners’ row
Speaking on behalf of his team, Pope Emanuel London said, “The tournament, in my view, was a resounding success, even though the attendance could have been better. But the participants were satisfied, especially with the prizes that were up for grabs, even though it was a club tournament. Our win was a pleasant surprise, because I knew that, as a team, we didn’t play our best game.”
The Lusignan Golf Club will now turn attention to the highly-anticipated Sankar’s Auto Works tournament, set for this Saturday.
