It was a landslide victory for Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) member Aleem Hussein who ascended to the ranks of President following the Club’s elections held Saturday.
Hussein, a highly-ranked local pro along with seven others were elected to lead the club ahead of the New Year. Outgoing LGC President Hilbert Shields during his brief remarks tipped his successor to continue the good works.
Shields believed that Hussein’s commitment to the sport will benefit the fraternity in the long run, adding that he also expects much from the newly-formed the executive body. The new executive Body will also benefit from the return long-serving executive Chatterpaul Deo who was re-elected as Club Captain following some time away from the fraternity.
