GAVIN Todd won last Saturday’s Colin Ming Memorial Golf competition which was held in the memory of the recently departed sports personality.
Ming, who died in early April following a road accident, was a decent golfer (handicap of 13), who had won several competitions at the Lusignan golf course.
The event included the nine-hole competition, special tributes by golfers and the Ming family and a celebratory meal and drinks.
According to information from the club, Todd finished with a net score of 33 with a handicap of 10, which propelled him ahead of Patrick Prashad who finished with a net 34.
Prashad finished with the best gross score (actual score) over nine holes with a 39.
Third place overall went to William Walker, who finished with a net 34 (gross 40). A countback determined the second and third positions.

The trophies were presented to the winners by Ming’s three children.
Several glowing and touching tributes were made by members of Guyana’s golfing fraternity including Club president Pur Persaud, vice-president Paton George, captain Patrick Prashad and long-standing friends, which included Brian Glasford, Troy Cadogan and Bryan Hackett.
The club’s PRO Anasha Ally, who chaired the event, noted that: “Some funny, lighthearted stories were shared which also added to the day’s special significance.”
A moment of silence was also observed in Ming’s honour.
Mr Stanley Ming, brother of the late Colin, was emotional when he offered a few words in response to all of the tributes paid to his brother.
The late Ming was active in several sports locally.
