Local golfers will take to the Greens for the 4th straight weekend as the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) hosts its Unique Open Tournament today.
This specific tourney is set to have a twist with a new method of rearranged Hole numbering being introduced. At an Executive Meeting held on Tuesday which based on review of the request of some members, it was decided that the Hole Numbering would be rearranged so that what has been Hole 8 would now become Hole 1, and what was previously Hole 7 would now be Hole 9.

Also, the new Hole 1 will be from the traditional Back Nine tee-box, which is nearer to the Club House. The rationale behind the changes is to breed greater competitiveness offered from having a 9th or 18th Hole that is Par 5, as well as the great view these two Holes still offer spectators of the starting Tee-box and finishing Green for a round.
Today’s Medal Play Club Tournament will see prizes from 1st to 3rd Best Net, Nearest the Pin and Longest Drive being up for grabs. Also, Tee-off will commence as early as 7:30am and will run up until 11:30am.
Golfers will Tee-off in groups of 4, and so can choose convenient start time between 7:30 hrs up to 11:30 hrs. The Executive has also decided to have an Annual Champ which will be the golfer with the most points in Club Tournaments during the year. That player will then be honored as the LGC Club Champion for the year.
