UNDAUNTED by the four-month absence from the Golf Course due to steady,unseasonal rains and an almost impassable road, Golfers turned out with great enthusiasm for the massive Massy United 4th Annual golf tournament last Saturday. The top stream was a refreshing net range of 73 – 76, with some ten golfers in the range, comprising F Haniff, I Khan, C Adams – 73; Pur Persaud, P. London – 74; I Gouveia, M. Gayadin – 75: and A. Hussain, P Prashad and H. Tiwari – 76.
Other golfers submitting scores ranged up to net 85. While the scores are generally much better for all the golfers, the long absence did not deter keen competitive scores as demonstrated by the top ten.
Club Captain,Chatterpaul Deo,was high in his praise of the golfers for the effort the made to come out and play and to produce such a close range at the top.
Winners of the day’s tournament were:1st – Fazil Haniff 73/87; 2nd – Imran Khan 73/80; 3rd – Carlos Adams 73/99. Best Gross – Imran Khan; Nearest to the Pin (3 feet) – Ian Gouviea; and Most Honest Golfer – Jorge Medina. (Any tie in golf – as in the case of 3 scores at 73 – is initially settled by the golfer with the better ‘back nine’ scores receiving the better place. The tournament was played under the open medal play system.)
Meanwhile, Club President, Ramroop thanked Mr Jorge Medina and Macorp for the significant contribution made to the improvement of the road. Mr Medina in reply said that Macorp has been very happy to assist not only the Golf Club but also the Lusignan community in the improvement of the road.
