Lusignan Golf Club offers Barbados Royals another exciting visit
The Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) has welcomed the Barbados Royals for an exciting day of golf, marking another high-profile visit to this course which has increasingly become a destination for international athletes.
The Royals were joined by Head Coach Trevor Penney, who had visited in 2023, and by David Miller and Keshav Maharaj, who, like the rest of this team, were making their debut on this challenging course.
Brian Hackett, Public Relations Officer of the Lusignan Golf Club, in expressing the LGC’s delight at being visited by this exciting team, said, “Once again, the Barbados Royals have visited us to have a game of golf on this challenging course. Last year we hosted several teams, including the Barbados Royals with Jason Holder, Laurie Evans, Roelof van der Merwe, and Head Coach Trevor Penny, along with the Trinbago Knight Riders. This year, we even had the South African Cricket Team visit during their tour against the West Indies at Providence.”
The growing popularity of the Lusignan Golf Course continues to attract international attention, and Hackett noted, “The word is getting around about the Lusignan Golf Course, and the LGC is extremely pleased to host these teams. They are eager to come to Guyana to play, and they find the course challenging to defeat.”
Hackett disclosed that the LGC’s commitment to promoting golf as an inclusive sport remains strong. “The executive committee remains committed to ensuring that golf is available to everyone, especially persons visiting Guyana, and that they enjoy the ambiance and experience of a golf club,” Hackett explained. “We are warm to the idea of welcoming teams from across the region, and will continue to embrace them to play on our golf course.”
Barbados Royals Head Coach Trevor Penny has said he thoroughly enjoyed every moment on the course. He even gave it a rating of 10/10, as the course presented a unique experience for the team.
The Lusignan Golf Club boasts a strong history, having more than 50 years of hosting both local and international athletes. One of its notable moments was when West Indies cricketing legend Lance Gibbs won the World Series Golf Tournament on this very course.
As the Lusignan Golf Club continues to grow in prestige, its position as a premier destination for golfers across the region and beyond is being reinforced, and a unique and challenging experience is being offered in the heart of Guyana.
