Meanwhile, Ansa McAl, through its Public Relations Officer Darshanie Yussuf, thanked the golfers for coming out in their numbers and pledged her company’s fullest support and that of especially Heineken towards the sport.
“It is our hope that one day this will be one of the biggest tournaments in Guyana and I’m glad that you the players enjoyed it. We (Ansa McAl) wanted to make this day interactive as well and I must say that we are pleased with the turnout of persons and happy to see them taking part in the little games,” Yussuf said.
