Nand Persaud Karibee Rice Golf Open tees off Saturday

Golf action continues this weekend with another inaugural invitational open, this time sponsored by Guyana’s premier rice manufacturer Nand Persaud’s Karibee Rice.

Tee-off time is set for 12:30h this Saturday at the Lusignan Course, where scores of top golfers are expected to compete as they prepare for a packed season of tournament golf to finish off the year.
It is no surprise that the executives of the company, whose products are known for great taste and quality, have decided to become members of the Lusignan Golf Club and sponsor a stand-alone tournament as their entry to the game.
Both Devesh and Ragindra Persaud have long been admirers of the sport and with the initiatives ongoing to expand the game to include newcomers, women and children, Karibee Rice, always a market leader in many aspects, decided to join forces with Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) President Aleem Hussain and the new Executive team to help realise their goals.
“Nand Persaud and Karibee Rice are proud to be associated with the LGC, and hope to be a major part of its development in the coming years,” said Devesh Persaud, as he committed to sponsoring the tournament.
Golfers will compete for prizes and honour in the Lusignan Open draw scheduled for August 4-5. Also, the company will be hosting its big horse racing meet on August 12 at the same location where Karibee Rice is manufactured: the Nand Persaud mills in Number 36 Village, Berbice, as SkyPlus hosts the $4 million sixth running of the only straight-line drag racing for horses.
Karibee Rice was launched back in 1999, and the brand has remained one of the loyal sponsors of sports in Guyana.
