THE Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) will today share its heart and kidneys with the Doobay Renal (or Dialysis) Centre of 9 Courbane Park, Annandale, East Coast Demerara.

The event will be spearheaded by Annandale-born professional golfer Jaipaul Suknanan and a number of humanitarian golfers including Haresh Tewari, Rabindranath Persaud, Mahendra Bhagwandin and others.

The Medal-Play Tournament will see at least seven prizes, including overall Best Net, Best Net of each Flight and Nearest the Pin being awarded.

All of these golfers are expected to participate, and though pro golfer Jaipaul has not yet won a tournament for the month, it is expected that he will be pulling all the stops to produce a superb play for the charity tournament this weekend.

The golfers have hailed the significant contribution that the Renal Centre has been giving to the country since its beginning in September 15, 2011, through the vision by founder Dr Budhendranauth Doobay, a cardiovascular surgeon, to provide more affordable care for persons who needed dialysis.

Noting that the November-December period is significant in Guyana, it was considered apt to inject goodwill to a very gracious corporate entity, the Doobay Renal Centre, which offers dialysis treatment at a very reasonable cost.

In 2014, Dr Doobay had said that approximately 50 percent of the dialysis patients received a subsidy. All proceeds from the tournament will be donated to the Renal Centre.

Tee-off is scheduled for 12:30hrs.

The public is invited to enjoy the ambience of the Lusignan Golf Club and Course, free of cost, as this exciting tournament takes place.
