Richard Haniff, son of 2011 Guyana Open Golf Champion, Evangelist Fazil noted that “I put in much training practice before the tournament and today played the course not paying attention to any competition,” as he walked away a clear winner of the annual Trophy Stall golf
tournament on Saturday.
Haniff cited that his short game was very good, giving him 2 birdies on what are considered the more difficult par 4 holes (5 and 6), and helping him to recover even after 3 double bogeys. He congratulated the Groundsmen on the superb state of the greens. Father Haniff was delighted that his son was able to be the champion. “I’m looking forward to the day when he does better than his father at the Guyana Open” he stated.
At the end of the day’s play winners were: Nearest to The Pin (8’) – Lakeram Ramsundar; Best Gross (79) Avinash Persaud; 1st Best Net – Richard Haniff 15/65; 2nd – Asrodeen Shaw 18/68; 3rd – Balgobin Ragnauth 27/69; 4th – Fazil Haniff 14/70. Also in contention were Maurice Solomon 24/71; Mike Gayadin 14/72; and Aleem Hussain 17/72.
Vice President Patrick Prashad, speaking on behalf of the Club, expressed much appreciation for and gratitude to Trophy Stall and Managing Director and Proprietor Ramesh Sunich, who is currently the Vice President of the Guyana Floodlight Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA).
“Trophy Stall with a long association (over 17 years) has been an outstanding sponsor and supporter of golfing in that Mr Sunich has always been willing to assist the Lusignan Golf Club.
Thank you very much Trophy Stall, for you have become a household name by your involvement in all the sporting disciplines as well as in providing trophies for institutions in the Education department, and still contributing to golf,” he stated.
Sunich and Trophy Stall have been sponsoring golf tournaments for some seven years.
