EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF NEXGEN GOLF ACADEMY REVEALED

Latest development in golf…

The NexGen Golf Academy was officially launched on Friday, April 3rd, 2020. The executive committee of this academy is as follows: President – Aleem Hussain, Vice President – Ragindra Persaud, Secretary – Nadia Kalika, Treasurer – Sudama Ramalingum, Asst. Secretary/ Treasurer – Paul Jiwanram, Public Relations Officer – Bishop Guy Griffith, Board Advisor – Kenny Attai, and Legal Advisor – Mayo Robertson.

Headed by Aleem Hussain and Rudy Ramalingum, this entity plans to provide the best in entertainment golf (both beginners and established golfers can win prizes), while affording players opportunity to enjoy a unique atmosphere of music, food and drinks, and offering students of all ages training in this sporting discipline.

Declaring that they intend to expend effort to ensure that golf is portrayed in a more fun light and made more accessible to students and new players, these pioneers of this golfing academy explained that, for many years, the idea of golf in schools has been

tossed around, but now it will become a reality as the sport can be taught as a CAPE/CXC subject.
“We intend to have 300 students under instruction by end of 2020, and hope that we can provide golf as an entertainment alternative to thousands of people in Guyana,” Ramalingum has said.
Students will be able to take the theoretical course in classrooms, and then come to the fields for their practical work. A top coach who has been identified to become the technical advisor to the programme will be visiting from Trinidad on a regular basis until the local coaches are certified, he explained.
The entertainment model, which would be similar to the branded Top Golf that has revolutionized the sport in the USA, is designed to create a welcoming atmosphere for all levels of golfers (from those who have never touched a club to the well-versed players).
Two locations in the heart of Georgetown have been identified for placement of the Academy, and there are plans for a grand opening of the Academy within three weeks from today. Top notch food, drinks, and lots of challenges under the lights will ensure that lots of persons become interested in the sport, they explained.
Several major companies have indicated their intention to partner with the Academy in order to provide exposure of the sport and of their products to the players. A marketing campaign will be rolled out in time for the launch.
