During the tournament’s official launch, on Friday evening at the LGC Clubhouse, it was revealed that, for the second year running, the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GTT) Company has sponsored this prestigious event. GTT’s Sales Director of Business Solutions, Hilton Wong, divulged why the Company had again jumped at the opportunity to support the event.
“Our support for this tournament for the second consecutive year is in part an example of our commitment and dedication towards the game of golf. Sports in our country is a pillar of national pride, and we celebrate wins as a feeling of collective accomplishment,” Wong declared. He later added, “At GTT, we are committed to the development of sports locally, and we have demonstrated that dedication through similar contributions across several sports disciplines.”
