LGC Secretary Bowling proud of podium finish as focus shifts to Guyana Open

Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) Secretary Chet Bowling says standing on the podium at the recently-concluded DSB Suriname Invitational 2025 is both a personal and national achievement, marking another proud moment for Guyana’s golfers on the international stage.

Reflecting on his performance, Bowling said his podium finish represented years of dedication and steady growth, not just for himself but for the Lusignan Golf Club community as a whole.
“It’s an achievement for me to stand on the podium at an international event; it says a lot about the level of golfing at the Lusignan Golf Club,” Bowling said. “Our members are dedicated, supportive, and encourage each other. On a personal level, I’m excited, grateful, and thankful. On a club level, I’m proud of how we performed and how we represented Guyana.”
He noted that LGC’s strong presence at the Invitational highlighted the club’s commitment to raising the standard of golf in Guyana. “We really dominated the prize-giving ceremony,” Bowling added. “It proves that Lusignan has some of the top players in the region, and the golf being played at our club is truly at an international level.”
Bowling emphasised that the success was not just about skill but about teamwork, unity, and shared motivation among the members. “The support and encouragement within the club drive us to do better. That’s what makes Lusignan special, it’s not just a club; it’s a family.”
Looking ahead, Bowling believes the momentum from the Suriname Invitational sets the perfect tone for the Brava Guyana Open, scheduled for November 1-2, 2025, at the Lusignan Golf Club.
“The competition will be stiff,” he noted. “Many players used the Suriname Invitational as preparation for the Guyana Open, so I expect this year’s event to be very competitive and exciting.”
Bowling also extended an invitation to the Surinamese golfers, saying he hopes they will return to Guyana to continue the friendly rivalry. “After our performance, I’m sure they’ll want to come back and try to get revenge.”
