– wins for Ally, Watkins
Independence Day Tourney
The LGC/Hallmark and C&L Construction Inc Open Golf tournament scheduled for Saturday May 29, has been
postponed.
This decision has been necessitated by the wet course caused by persistent rainfall. According to a member of the Club, the tournament is tentatively set for next weekend, provided there is excellent weather.
At a simple ceremony held on Thursday, LGC Secretary Chet Bowling noted that the winners of the tournament would be rewarded with prizes from first to third, and there would also be rewards for those with the best scores on the front and back 9.

There would also be the nearest to the pin and longest drive prizes up for grabs as well.
Bowling has said that golf at the Lusignan Club is a COVID-19-compliant sport, and participants need not worry, as all protocols would be followed. The LGC secretary has also thanked Hallmark and C&L Construction Inc for their support to the LGC, as it is great to see companies demonstrate great corporate social responsibility.
Henceforth, when companies such as Hallmark and C&L Construction Inc come out to support the LGC, it speaks well of the club achieving its goals and aims, which are: “Getting corporate sponsors on board to support the game.”

Also, on Wednesday, Lusignan Golf Club hosted its Independence Day 2021 Open Tournament. The tournament was set to be an 18-hole format, but because of the inclement weather, it was shortened to a nine-hole tournament. The highly anticipated matchup saw a total of 42 persons braving the weather and coming out to play golf.
The results were as follows:
– 1st: Anasha Ally/Tom Watkins: 9 Hc Gross 39 Net 30
– 2nd: Winning by countback Pope Emmanuel London/Shanella London: 7 Hc Gross 38 Net 31
– 3rd: Patrick Prashad/Andrew Cummings: 6 Hc Gross 37 Net 31
– 4th: Mike Mangal/Rohan Albert: 9 Hc Gross 41 Net 32
The results were determined by the front 9 scores because of bad weather, and most players were able to complete the front 9. The greens were extremely wet, which made putting a challenge. That aside, it was a day of fun and relaxation for all members and visitors. At the end of the tournament, the prizes of bottles of wine, key ring golf balls, golf balls, umbrellas, towels and golf clothing were contributed by the Executive Committee.
