VETERAN Clifford Reis continued his winning drive to emerge winner in his flight and overall champion of the Global Auto Spares inaugural golf tournament last Saturday at the Lusignan Golf Course.
Noticeably, rookie Eureka Giddings registered her entry in the winners’ row, placing a definite second.
The tournament was played in two flights. Winners in the 0 –14 flight were Aleem Hussain (70/10), and Roy Cummings (74/12).
In the 15 – 28 flight, winners were Reis (64/26); Giddings (71/28) and Shanella Webster (74/15).
The grounds were in fine condition, and the new LGC member and owner of Global Auto Spares, Hardeo Ganpat and his wife were on hand to congratulate the winners and express their delight in supporting the Lusignan Golf Club.
Meanwhile, Reis, CEO of Banks DIH, took full advantage of the conditions to maintain his great performance.
In the special awards area, Minister Ronald Bulkan came out of a long absence to provide an excellent drive and win the Nearest The Pin (some 6ft) prize. Parmanand ‘Max’ Persaud also came to the fore in his unique area of the Longest Drive, being one of the club’s golfers with a huge drive; he recorded a 310 yards drive.
Hussain took away two prizes, obtaining the Best Gross for the day, along with his flight win.
Meanwhile, a packed and exciting series of tournaments are set for the next few weeks at the Lusignan Golf Club, starting with the Assuria Insurance Companies inaugural Open Golf Tournament on Saturday, April 27th at 12:30 p.m., to be followed each weekend by a tournament sponsored by MTV, RRT, Banks DIH, Torginol Paints, Macorp, El Dorado, Kissoons and a grand AMCHAM Open on June 15th.
In the spirit of generosity and rejoicing of the Easter season, LGC, in partnership with the Shafura Hussain (charitable) Foundation of Albouystown and New Trend Auto’s Rudy Ramalingum, began distributing kites to children in the Albouystown community. President Hussain indicated that some 200 kites would be given over the period, Easter Saturday to Tuesday, to kids in the Albouystown community and at the Lusignan ground during the kite-flying excitement that normally takes place there on Easter Monday and Tuesday.
