…fantastic job done by committee, says Chet Bowling
By Timothy Jaikarran
The Lusignan Golf Club will be hosting its Annual General Meeting today at its premises. The last such meeting was held in December 2021, when the same managing committee was returned to serve until June 2022.
The current committee has been responsible for hosting the highly successful GTT Guyana Open
According to LGC Secretary Chet Bowling, The AGM would be much focused on taking the club to the next level in the next five years, and he is optimistic that most members of the committee would be returned to office.
In an interview with this publication, he was asked how the current committee has functioned, and he said: “I don’t think we can say that the club is at a new level as yet, but it is on its way to that new level. I think that is why this AGM is important, as we will outline our vision for the club for the next five years; and I think once the other members buy in, we can see the club moving to that other level.
“But that said, the committee has done a fantastic job, the camaraderie in the club has been rebuilt, and even during the rainy season, the course is playable and the club house looks much better.”
Bowling alluded to the fact that, because of major improvements at the club, more members are seeking to join the club, and there is a constant flow of sponsorship. It is his belief that while the committee has done “a fantastic job”, it would need to build on this as the club continues to grow.
Further, Bowling has related that the AGM would be a standard affair, as he is optimistic that most of the committee members would be re-elected to continue the good work they have started.
He divulged that there is an attempt to bring in new blood on the committee in the form of some younger persons, but while it is still in play, most of the committee members are up for selection, and the outcome of the results would be an endorsement of the work they have done so far.
Pertaining to the weather and the resumption of golf, bowling noted that the club is being very cautious. “We are being very cautious and optimistic; we haven’t scheduled any tournaments, even though we have quite a few sponsors lined up and waiting to announce the regular resumption,” he shared.
