FROM a field of 47 golfers, Patangalie ‘Per’ Persaud came out on top at this year’s Crown Mining Supplies Medal Play Golf Tournament over the weekend at the Lusignan Golf Course.It was seen as an incongruous moment, since Persaud is also a director of the company and the sole sponsor of the event.
Persaud had a gross of 89 and 66 net from the hole, beating Kalyan Tiwari into second (gross 84, net 68), while Mahendra Bhagwandin and Bholawram Deo were third and fourth respectively.
The longest drive came from Shanella Webster; nearest to the pin was Bholawram Deo who fell just six feet from the hole.
The best gross came from Avinash Persaud, 73 with Public Relations Officer of the Lusignan Golf Club, Guy Griffith being the most honest golfer.
At the presentation ceremony that followed the respective winners were duly awarded with their attractive prizes, compliments of the sponsor Crown Mining Supplies.
This is the second year of sponsorship for Crown Mining Supplies with the competition coming under their Parsun outboard engines line.
In an invited comment, director of Crown Mining Supplies, Mahendra Persaud, said his company is pleased to sponsor such a prestigious tournament and “the sponsorship will continue either with another tournament or a bigger sponsorship to the annual tournament.”
Meanwhile, winner ‘Per’ Persaud said it was a hard battle and he was made to concentrate on not making simple mistakes as was the case in previous challenges.
The humble Persaud went on to thank the Lusignan Golf Club for hosting such a wonderful tournament for Parsun outboard engines and Crown Mining Supplies.
