Reportedly, there will be featured much fun in the sun as, for the first time in almost a year, a golf tournament can be played.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many sporting disciplines have been forced to cease activities, but being one of the few COVID-19 compliant games, golf has made the necessary breakthrough, and fans can now enjoy healthy fun while following the COVID-19 restrictions.
This tournament will tee-off at 09:00am, and the format will be 9 holes, better ball. Non-members can participate, but must pay green fees ($2000 for 9 holes) and tournament fees of $3000.
To avoid congregating (against COVID-19 guideline) participants must come in early, thus giving themselves adequate time to pay the relevant fees, collect score cards, and proceed to their respective tee-off areas in preparation for a prompt 9am start (sound of the horn would indicate start of play).
In this format, both partners will tee-off and then decide which player’s ball is in a better position to continue from. They will both play from that position, and continue like that, choosing the better ball until they hole out. Handicaps will be a quarter of the combined pair (A-10, B-15) total 15+10=25; 25/4=6.25 HC for the pair will be 6. Participants must ensure that their score cards are properly completed and signed.
The first-place prize is a $20,000 voucher redeemable at the club, along with $40,000 to be paid to a charity selected by the winner. Second-place prize is a $15,000 voucher together with $30,000 being paid to a charity of choice; while third-place prize is a $10,000 voucher along with $20,000 being paid to a charity of choice. Trophies accompany all these prizes.
The 4th and 5th positions attract trophies as well as $5000 vouchers, as do the NTP winners. Moreover, $10,000 would be awarded to the pair with the lowest gross.
The Lusignan Golf Club is hoping that everyone would come out and participate in the tournament, and enjoy a great game of golf.
