LGC hosts benefit tournament in support of late Dhanai
On August 31, 2023, the lifeless body of 57-year-old Dalchand Dhanai (Nanda) was found at the Lusignan Golf Club.
Dhanai had been a security officer attached to the club for more than 30 years. As such, the Golf Club hosted a benefit tournament last weekend, where all proceeds went to the family of Dhanai ($190,000).
The winners of the benefit tournament
Speaking on behalf of the LGC was Public Relations Officer Paton George who said, “This tournament was held to aid the family as all proceeds went towards them. This is our way of supporting the family, someone important was lost and the golf club will continue to support Nanda’s wife through this difficult time. The Lusignan community is a united community and a valuable family member was lost that day. We will continue to aid the family, not just through this fundraiser but through other channels of support.”

George also stated that through this tragedy there would be more community awareness and vigilance against wayward individuals who may be few in numbers, but tend to cause a negative impact. He also relayed that the club was ensuring that it played a leadership role in helping the family and the community to heal and go forward, to have a better future.
The results for the tournament were as follows:
1st – Miguel Yunes and Miguel Oviedo (Gross 70, HC 8, Net 62)
2nd – Mike Mangal and Rohan Albert (Gross 70, HC 5, Net 65)
3rd – Kassim Khan and Ayube Subhan (Gross 69, HC 4, Net 65)
Dhanai started working at the Lusignan Golf Club at a very young age as a groundsman, and was later given the responsibility of overseeing the premises. The Executive and members of Lusignan Golf Course would like to express their condolences to the family members of Dhanai in their time of bereavement.
