VETERAN golfer Maurice Solomon capitalized on the excellent golf course and weather conditions, to emerge the top golfer last Saturday in the Sanjay’s Jewellery Classic Golf tournament.

Solomon ended the day with a 65/25 scoreline.
Mike Mangal came in second position with 67/8 while the third and fourth places were decided on a count-back since three golfers–Brian Hackett, Assrodeen Shaw and Richard Haniff–tied for net 70.

From that count-back, Hackett came in third with 70/19 while Shaw finished in fourth position with 70/18.
Nearest-to-the-Pin was won by Mohanlall Dinanauth.
Best Gross was decided on a count-back since Mike Mangal tied with Avinash Persaud for gross 75. Mangal won with 36 against Persaud’s 38 on the count-back.

So keen was the day’s competition that even net scores of 71, 72 and 73 were tied.
At the presentation ceremony, Sanjay Persaud expressed appreciation to the golfers, adding that he intends to sponsor a bigger tournament in October.
President of the LGC, Aleem Hussain expressed his delight at Sanjay’s continued sponsorship towards the development of the sport.

Meanwhile, Maurice said “In this tournament I particularly kept my head down during play – a regular fault being that I would lift my head. This discipline paid off well, and was enhanced by a quite reasonable short game, causing me to bring in a good net score”.
The Hole-in-One prize of $100,000.00 for a charity was not won.
