By Timothy Jaikarran

The Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) is being host to the second edition of the Genuine Auto Spares golf tournament, which will commence today at 12:30 hrs.

The first edition of this tournament was won by Mike Mangal, who will be hoping to retain his title amidst the tough competition this tournament attracts. This defending champion, in a statement, has said, “My game was kind of a little off for the longest while, and I have now started to get back into some form. I got third last week, so the game is actually coming back now to play better this week.
“This game is just like cricket, sometimes you are in form and you are out of form, so I feel I am getting into form. But I don’t want to boast up a lot and I play bad, but hopefully I get a good day.”

Sharing his bit on what play in the tournament is expected to be like, LGC Secretary Chet Bowling noted that there would be fantastic play on the ground because of the good weather the club has been receiving. He related that the golfers would have to be more accurate and sharper when putting on the green. Pertaining to the fans, Bowling has said, “The Lusignan Golf Club on a Saturday afternoon is a fantastic family affair. For last week’s tournament, we had families come out and (enjoy the) music, so the message to the families is to come out and check out the clubhouse, and have some family time together.”
Bowling has divulged that the LGC appreciates Genuine Auto Spares coming on board, as this is the second time they are hosting a tournament. He opined that the auto spares company understands the value of partnering with the Lusignan Golf Club, as the LGC is a symbol of quality. He explained that this is what the club aims to show corporate sponsors.
“It says to your clients that you appreciate quality, and you appreciate good service, and you appreciate the good things of being a corporate citizen,” Bowling has posited.
The format of the competition is an 18-hole stroke play competition. The prizes up for grabs are:
* Overall Best Net
