ALEEM Hussain won his second golf tournament for the year at the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) Unique Open tournament last Saturday.

Saturday’s action teed off a little after 08:00hrs with several local golfers vying for the numerous prizes and honours which were at stake.

In a tournament which saw one group play in the morning while another took to the greens in the afternoon, the LGC president shot a near perfect Gross 64/Net 15 under some murky conditions to bag first place.

Second place went to Club vice-president Peyton George who racked up a 67 Gross/Net 23, with Richard Haniff sealing off the top three with his 67 Gross and Net 15.
Best Gross went to Mike Mangal while Nearest the Pin was won by the man responsible for having the course in such immaculate shape – grounds superintendent Mike Gayadin.

With the LGC pitching a new idea of having an annual Club Champ, points allocation towards the new Champion saw: Mike Gayadin G69/N13 4th; Roy Cummings G69/N13 5th; William Walker G69/N9 6th; Mike Mangal G70/N8 7th; Fazil Haniff G72/N14 8th; Haresh Tiwari G72/N18 9th; and Bridgelall Harry G73/N16 10th.

Vouchers were also presented to the winners by the daughter of captain Chatterpaul Deo, two-time Women’s national champion Dr Joann Deo.

Meanwhile, in his brief remarks, Hussain said it was a good day for him but he was wary of his competition. “I had to keep focused, because the competition in my group was fierce. Both Richard (3rd) and Haresh were neck-and-neck with me until close to the finish.”
