Lusignan Golf Club Pre-Father’s Day Golf Classic on today

The Lusignan Golf Club is set to host its Pre-Father’s Day Golf Classic Tournament today, following hard on the heels of the MACORP Golf Extravaganza of June 9th.
In that successfully held MACORP event, prizes were awarded in the ladies’ flight to Shanella Webster-London and Joaan Deo respectively, while prizes for 1st to 3rd places were awarded in each of the men’s flights.
In the ‘A’ flight, 1st to 3rd place winners were Aleem Hussain, Avinash Persaud (reigning Guyana Open champion), and Patrick Prashad (former Club Captain) respectively. In ‘B’ flight, 1st to 3rd place winners were Satrohan ‘Robin’ Tiwari, Lakram ‘Panko’ Ramsundar, and Patanjilee ‘Per’ Persaud respectively. ‘C’ flight 1st to 3rd winners were respectively Imtiaz Subhan, Haresh Tewari, and Dr Philbert London.
Tournament champion was Imtiaz Subhan, for his overall Best Net score of 64. The Best Gross (74) and Longest Drive (310 yds) prizes were both won by Avinash Persaud.
With such success over the weekend, today’s event is reputed to be another buzz of excitement, as golfers will be competing for top honours in this Pre-Father’s Day Classic.
The Lusignan Golf Club has also shown its appreciation to President Aleem Hussain and his grounds crew. For the first time in the club’s history of over 50 years, huge tournaments are being played in ground conditions that are very welcoming and encouraging, despite the rainy season.
Tee-off time is scheduled for 12:30pm, and the format is Medal Play in 3 flights, with prizes being awarded by the Survival Supermarket for 1st and 2nd best Net in each flight, along with Nearest to the Pin and Longest Drive.
The public is invited to spectate at this event free of cost, and to even begin to learn about the game of golf while there.
