LGC Public Relations Officer Brian Hackett, declaring that the club is grateful for Farmsup being on board, has said, “Farmsup has taken a bold and precise step in supporting sports in general, especially golf. This is not Farmsup’s first tournament, and we at the LGC are extremely pleased for making this possible. I am anticipating a great tournament, as many of the country’s top golfers will take to the course on Sunday to test their skills.”
The players will compete in the following categories:
• Men’s Flights: 0-14 Handicap, 15-28 Handicap
• Prizes: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each flight (based on net scores)
• Special Prizes: Best Ladies’ Prize, Nearest to the Pin (#4), Longest Drive (#5), Best Net Overall, and Best Gross.
This event will follow a traditional medal play format in which competitors would be vying for honours across multiple categories. The course’s challenging layout would test the skill and precision of all golfers, promising an exciting day of play. The tournament would also include special contests such as Nearest to the Pin and Longest Drive, adding an extra layer of competition and excitement.
The event would culminate in a prize presentation ceremony at around 1:00pm, wherein the winners would be celebrated for their achievements.
Founded in the 1990s in Guyana, FarmSup began as a small supplier of agricultural inputs like fertilizers and seeds, but quickly grew as it expanded its product range and formed partnerships with international brands to introduce advanced farming technology to local farmers.
By the early 2000s, Farmsup had become a major player in Guyana’s agricultural sector, and had become known for enhancing farming practices through quality products and training. With over 150 staff members on board, Farmsup operates not only in the agriculture sector, but also in construction, mining, marine, power-generation and warehouse solutions.
The company also represents an impressive lineup of world-renowned brands, including Develon, Bobcat, Mercury Marine, Tatu, Jacto, Shaktiman, Solis, Volvo, Penta, and more. Today, FarmSup remains a leading supplier in Guyana.
