TWO long-standing members of the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) will have birthday celebrations to remember when the inaugural Robert Hanoman and Pandit Ravindranauth Persaud Birthday Classic tees off today at 12:00hrs. Hanoman, a Life-member and Pandit ‘Ravi’ have opted for the unique celebration among their golf buddies. A large turnout is anticipated for a full round of golf comprising members and newcomers, with a number of prizes at stake.
The tournament will utilise the Stableford points system and will award the winner, second-place, third-place and fourth-place finishers, best gross, closest to the pin, longest drive and best new comer. In a unique twist, the birthday classic will have a strategic refreshment break at the ninth hole. This is expected to give members the drive needed for a brisk finish. A lavish trophy presentation is expected to bring the curtain down on the celebrations at Guyana’s only golf course.
The LGC is reminding members of the public who are desirous of watching golf that the course is open with all COVID-19 regulations in place.
The tournament is expected to be an annual fixture on the LGC’s official calendar of events.
