RECENTLY elected president of the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC), David Mohamad, said he is expecting keen competition today, when over 40 golfers will tee-off from 12:30hrs for supremacy in the Wartsila-sponsored competition at the Club’s Lusignan, East Coast Demerara-based course.

Wartsila has a history of great prizes and incentives for players, and a great happy-hour session at the end of play, but it is the desire to win that produces the excitement as the players eagerly tee-off. Participants are Vijay Deo and Archbishop Dr Philbert London, the winners of the two previous Wartsila tournaments, who wasted no time in registering for today’s tournament.
Wartsila sponsored two previous tournaments – June 15 and November 16 of last year – and in addition to all the other golfers who are striving for the champion’s cup, the two previous winners are looking forward to even better play than they produced then.
These days it seems the competition is so keen that inclement weather hardly discourages the golfers.
“The course is in good condition. The ground staff are working assiduously to ensure that despite the days of rain, the ground would be in a condition that makes play still refreshing,” Mohamed said.
Wartsila representative Arron Fraser cited that “Wartsila is pleased to be associated with and to support the LGC, especially because we recognise the golf programme in Guyana is one of the better organised and properly run sports.”
In addition, Wesslin Mattie of Wartsila, who is an ardent golfer and who introduced Wartsila to sponsoring a tournament for the LGC, had, at the start, expressed his appreciation for Wartsila being called upon to contribute to the sport in Guyana.
