President of the Guyana Golf Association, Aleem Hussain, has said, “We wish to thank Guyana Beverages Inc. and their brands, Fruta Premium Juices and Busta Soft Drinks for joining our growing list of sponsors. It is because of support from major companies like these that Guyana now has the largest golf programme for students in the entire region.
“In partnership with the Ministry of Education’s Secondary School Priority Programme, which requires that all learners be exposed to a sport during their formative years, the GGA and Nexgen Golf Academy have introduced golf to thousands of Grades 7-9 students during PE classes in schools around the country. The next stage is to create competitions and tournaments, which the support of sponsors will be of tremendous importance.”
Players will have a chance to win the $100,000 prize at the Hole-in-One Challenge at the Easter ‘Eggstravaganza’ at Westside Golf Course during the March 30-April 1 activities that are anticipated to attract over 10,000 persons over the 3-day period.
