LGC Treasurer Aasrodeen Shaw has beaten keen competition to emerge champion in an exciting Global Auto Spares Christmas Tournament, as local golfers continue to enjoy a great course and historic good golfing conditions at the end of the year, despite unfavourable weather.

Golf rookie local businessman Hardeo ‘Curry’ Ganpat and his wife were on hand to encourage the golfers. Curry, who played in the tournament, represented himself well to place second, above seasoned golfers. Considering business as a pleasant service to his customers, Curry, as he is more familiarly known, began playing golf early in 2019 (less than a year ago), and sponsored his inaugural golf tournament in April of this year. He continues to give great support to the Lusignan Golf Club.
Played as a straight medal-play tournament without flights, prizes were given to the first five net scorers as well as to the best gross winner. The keenness of the tournament’s competition was evidenced in a three-way tie for 2nd place, which was decided by a mere stroke more than the 1st place winner.
Winners were as follows: Aasrodeen Shaw (67/13) – 1st; Curry Ganpat (68/28) – 2nd; Paton George (68/18) – 3rd; Mike Gayadin (68/12) – 4th; Shanella London (70/15) –5th.
Reigning Guyana Open champion Avinash Persaud produced a great 70 gross (parring the course) to win the Best Gross trophy in addition to winning the Longest Drive prize, while Aasrodeen Shaw also won the Nearest the Pin prize.
