Lusignan Golf Club records successful 2022

…promises to ‘grow’ golf in 2023

In the spirit of Christmas, the Executive Committee of the Lusignan Golf Club is wishing everyone a happy holiday, and all the best in the New Year. The club notes that it is extremely grateful to its members, staff, and sponsors for a very successful 2022 season.
The message from the LGC notes: “We are encouraged by the progress made towards providing opportunities for kids and beginners of all ages to have free access to the golf course during the learning phases. The committee will continue to support these initiatives, which are designed to foster the growth of the game throughout Guyana and make golf accessible to anyone wishing to play. LGC also added several new members to our roster, and experienced increased interest in non-golf event bookings such as weddings, anniversaries, and other private functions from members and guests.
“Tournament golf is what drives LGC, and by any measure, this year was very successful. Our major tournament, the GTT GUYANA OPEN, had a capacity turnout for the second consecutive year. While we welcome all competitors, due to the limited number of slots available, we were forced to limit the field of players. We hope to increase the number of holes in the coming years to be able to add to the number of participants in coming years.”
“The kids golf took a big step in the right direction with the inaugural Bruster’s Easter Sunday drive, chip and putt Fun Day. Kids from several areas stretching from Hopetown, Berbice to the mining town of Linden, came in large numbers to learn the game and the lessons of honesty and respect. Some of the participants further took advantage of the LGC’s invitation to continue their development beyond the fun day by scheduling free practice throughout the year.
“A second one-week Kids Summer Camp was held, which also saw a large diversity of kids participating. These events are free to the kids, and are made possible due to all sponsorship support”.
The club also said the highly successful Guyana Open was followed by the MACORP Championship. This, it stated, is perhaps its second-most-attended tournament of the year. For the club, it was seen that golfers, both local and international, played at both events.
The LGC also stressed the importance of its relationship with MACORP, which has a longstanding partnership with the club, and continues to play an important role in the club’s development.
Further, it acknowledged the Paramaribo Golf Club in Suriname for hosting the 26-player contingent of Guyanese golfers, who were very successful at this year’s Suriname Invitational Golf Tournament, and looks forward to continued cooperation between the two countries in 2023 and beyond.
The LGC has vowed to have the Executive Committee continue to work to improve not only the great manicured fairways and greens that are essential to golf, but would also grow the game responsibly to upkeep the honourable spirit of the game of golf for all.
To date, the club has hosted 29 tournaments for calendar year 2022, with 20 being sponsored tournaments and 9 being club tournaments. There are, also, three sponsorship tournaments that would end activities for 2022, namely: Top Brandz, Deme Life and Survival Supermarket.
“The Lusignan Golf Club would like to thank Crown Mining, Odyssey Site Seeing Tours, Bank of Baroda, Robert & Pandit Ravi, Chet Bowling, Beacon Ministries, Genuine Auto Spares, STP Investment, Trophy Stall, Bruster’s Real Ice Cream, Banks DIH Ltd, Ansa McAl, BK Inc, IGBL, Sankar’s Auto Spares, Romel and Robin, Atlantic Energy, C&V Shipping, GTT and MACORP for making 2022 possible, and looks forward to their continued support,” the LGC message has noted.
