– more events on the cards, says Bowling
On Easter Monday and Tuesday, the Lusignan Golf Club opened its gates to the general public to come and celebrate the Easter holidays. The two days saw many from all walks of life enjoying quality time with their friends and family.
According to LGC Secretary Chet Bowling, the two days of events were a resounding success. He explained that from the events, it could be seen that the Lusignan Golf Club continues to be a premier destination for kite flyers all across Guyana.
“The activities ran over from Easter Monday into Tuesday, of which we saw 60 per cent of the capacity we had on Monday turn out to fly their kites. It was an atmosphere of family and fun, which is what golf and the Lusignan Golf Club is about. People started arriving from as early as 8-9 am in the morning and when the music was turned off by 9:00 pm in the evening, there was still people coming into the ground,” Bowling highlighted.
He noted that overall, the committee was very satisfied and happy with the results over the last two days. Bowling related that the club also enjoyed working with the residents of the Lusignan community, who were among the highest percentage of those turning out to the event, village-wise. There were also persons coming from Essequibo, Linden and Berbice, just to get a taste of one of Guyana’s premier destinations.
As it pertains to future events, the LGC Secretary said, “We are in discussions, with various organisations to host similar kinds of festivals and events. We are looking to do something around the Cricket Carnival with one of the bigger telecommunications companies in Guyana. That event would be something along the lines of a festival of golf.”
More importantly, he went on to share that also on the cards would be a chip and putt competition and a summer camp for the children over the summer holidays. Thus, he clarified, the Golf Club is seeking to host more activities whereby the club can be associated with family and entertainment and not just the game of golf.
