Grand Coastal Hotel’s Annual Golf Classic tees off Sunday

The Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) concludes its double-header this weekend with the Grand Coastal Hotel’s Annual Golf Classic Tournament.
Officially launched a few months ago, the event was billed for April, but rain forced organisers to postpone the event to a more conducive time.

Despite inclement weather that prevailed over the past week, Lusignan Golf Club course Superintendent Deanand Bissessar said, the double-header — which starts with the Torginol Open on Saturday and concludes with the Grand Coastal on Sunday — will be hosted, given the improved drainage conditions of the Grounds.
This year, Grand Coastal began partnering with the LGC by offering a special incentive to its guests: special rates and free coaching lessons to play golf at the LGC. This is a joint initiative of Grand Coastal’s CEO Kevin Daby and LGC President Aleem Hussain.
Daby has ventilated Grand Coastal’s pleasure to continue the years of sponsorship begun by his father in support of golfing in Guyana. On Sunday, as a gesture of appreciation for Grand Coastal’s long and continuing support of the LGC, the Club will induct Daby as an Honorary Member.
Past first to fourth placed Best Net Winners in recent Grand Coastal tournaments were: 2016 — 1st: ‘Max’ Persaud; 2nd: Aleem Hussain; 3rd”: Richard Haniff; and 4th: Joaan Deo. In 2015 – 1st: Fazal Haniff; 2nd: Max Persaud; 3rd: Lakeram Ramsundar; and 4th: Patrick Prashad. In 2014 – 1st: Richard Haniff; 2nd: Patanjalee ‘Pur’ Persaud; 3rd: Sam Harry, and 4th: Bholaram Deo.
Meanwhile, prizes will be awarded for 1st to 4th Best Net scores, the Best Gross score, the Longest Drive, and the Nearest to a designated Pin. Tee off time is set for 8:30 am.
