with huge cash prizes up for grabs.
According to LGC President Aleem Hussain, the event which is the brainchild of club member and event coordinator, Munaf Arjune will see teams vying for top prizes which include; $100,000 for the first place team, $50,000 for second place and $30,000 for third place.
Hussain said the initiative was based on the Club’s ongoing project to turn the LGC into a full-fledged multi-purpose sport and recreational facility. He confirmed that the event is likely to pop up on the club’s monthly calendar of events as they plan to increase the volume of the game.
More than 20 teams are expected to feature in the one-day event and Hussain hinted at some popular companies such as; Banks DIH, MACORP and a few others who have signaled their intentions to enter teams to compete.
Also, with the growing partnership between the LGC and the University of Guyana students who have formed a golf committee, the President confirmed that an all-girls team from the University will be entering in the competition.
Hussain also added that the Club will be seeking to defend their turf from the incoming teams as they too will have a team in the competition. He said that the overall goal is to keep raising the bar of sports in Guyana whether it be the most insignificant or most popular and believed that once it can be housed at the Club he will continue to support all ideas.
Meanwhile, teams will be treated to specials on food and drinks all day. The tournament is set to commence at 13:30h and teams interested are asked to contact 220-5660, 638-9956, or Hussain on 664-7419. Entrance fee is $6,000 per team with each team being allowed a total of six players.
