LGC course to be named “Green Anaconda”

The Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) course has been tipped to be officially renamed “Green Anaconda”, according to club President Aleem Hussain.
The constantly upgraded Greens at Lusignan have been a major part of the facility’s overhaul, as the club is tipped to become a 5-Star country golf club by the end of 2018.
Speaking with Hussain on Saturday during the LGC’s El Dorado Golf Championships, the President confirmed that the name Green Anaconda was derived from the course’s aggressive demeanour, as it relates to being one of the most difficult courses in the Caribbean.
He added that the “deadly” course has been bringing out the best in golfers over the years; moulding some of the best pros in Guyana and around the Caribbean.
Regarding the renaming, Hussain said an official ceremony will be held in the future.
With golf booming more than ever in the past 6 months compared to the entire 2017, Hussain also said, parts of the venue will be specially awarded to sponsors who will have their logos and brands depicted proudly at the Club.
Also, the LGC is preparing to host a Lusignan 2-day club tourney, set for the last weekend in July. Following the event, the Club will, for the first time ever, host a Shivnarine Chanderpaul Celebrity Invitational tournament sponsored by Windsor Estates.
The year of major activities will culminate in November with the biggest event of the year, the Guyana Open Cup, teeing off over a three-day period. (Clifton Ross)
