Panko Steel Golf Tournament and Village Day set for Christmas Eve

…Tournament sponsored to the tune of $3M

Panko Steel Fabrication and Construction limited will be hosting a golf tournament and Village Day event at the Lusignan Golf Club on Sunday, December 24, 2023. The sum of $3M has been set aside to host this event, and play will be over 9 holes.
Many of Guyana’s top golfers will be participating in this inaugural event. The tournament, which will become a regular event on the LGC calendar, is a pairs competition in which participants can either choose their own partner or have one provided for them.
The event would be coordinated by experienced golfer Ayube Subhan, who has said, “It is not a golf tournament per se, but it is being held to celebrate the Christmas period, by aiming to bring smiles and absolute happiness to the children and the less fortunate in the community through the provision of good food and beverages for everyone in attendance.”
According to Subhan, the initiative is Mr. Ramsundar’s (Panko) way of fulfilling his corporate social responsibilities. “Panko himself is a passionate golfer, who developed his love for the sport as a caddy. Today he has honed his skills, and is an accomplished player. He feels that this is the least he can do to contribute to the growth and improvement of the game of golf in Guyana,” Subhan has shared.
Panko will be awarding the first 6 placed winners with the following fabulous cash prizes:
* 1st – $100,000
* 2nd – $75,000
* 3rd – $60,000
* 4th – $40,000
* 5th – $20,000
* 6th – $10,000
Individual trophies would also be awarded for the following achievements: nearest to the pin, nearest to the rope, nearest chip to the hole on a designated hole, and longest drive.
The action will commence at 09:00 hours, and lunch will be served at noon. A bouncy castle and trampoline will be available for the children to enjoy.
