LGC/IBGL Golf Tournament to tee off today

Many of Guyana’s top golfers will converge yet again at the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) today for the IBGL Golf Tournament, which is expected to tee off at 12:30h. The format of the tournament will be medal play over 18 holes and shotgun start.
Speaking at a short ceremony to hand over the sponsorship for the tournament at IBGL’s head office on Carmichael Street, the company’s Operations Manager, Adrian Barrow stated that the company had a long relationship with the Golf Club through his father, Hans Barrow, who started it over 50 years ago and was a long-standing playing member of the LGC.
Barrow stated, “We are very happy to sponsor this tournament from an IBGL perspective. My dad was a very fond player and so it is a fitting tribute to have this tournament. It has been a long time in the making. COVID got in the way, and he passed away, so this is our way of giving something back to him and to do something that he enjoyed.”
Present at the ceremony were LGC President Patanjilee Persaud, Club Secretary Chet Bowling and Club Treasurer Maxim Mangra. Receiving the sponsorship cheque on behalf of the Club, Persaud thanked IBGL and added that “we are glad that we can play an important part in Adrian’s memories of his dad, and we are very thankful for this sponsorship from a corporate member of society and one of the premier insurance companies in this country”.
The tournament will see some of the country’s best players compete for a number of trophies including for:
Overall Best Net
Best Gross
Nearest to Flag – Hole #4
Longest Drive – Hole #5
In closing, Barrow remarked that the event was intended to be an annual tournament and one that he hoped would be played for many years to come. “We are hoping for a very successful tournament and a long-lasting relationship between IBGL and Lusignan Golf Club,” he declared.
All participants are advised to contact the club’s manager on the day of the tournament to collect their scorecards, pay their tournament fees and proceed to their allocated tee boxes to begin play at 12:30h. Once on their respective tee boxes, players must await the sounding of the horn or siren to begin teeing off. Presentation of prizes will be held at the completion of the tournament at approximately 17:30h (5:30pm).
