SEASONED golfer, Mike Mangal, scored four over par to win last Saturday’s Genuine Auto Spares and Tools golf competition, which was held at Guyana’s lone golf club, located in Lusignan.

The former Guyana Open champion (2005) was impressive in his short game. Over the 18 holes of play, which is twice around the nine-hole course, he tallied a gross score of 74 to finish with a net 67. The 50-year-old, who finished with a total of five birdies over the two rounds, said that he putted well. His front nine score of 32 earned him an additional trophy (best front nine).

Second place in the competition went to fellow single-digit handicapper, Naro Dhanpat, who finished with a net score of 72 after registering a gross score of 80. Brian Hackett placed third with a gross 90 to finish with a net score of 72.

Eureka Giddings (handicap 31) earned the other prize, which was the best back nine for her net 33.

TEE SIGNS
Meanwhile, the golf course was further equipped with signage last Friday, when Machinery Corporation of Guyana Limited (MACORP) handed over 21 tee box signs to the club.

The signs are equipped with the necessary yardage to the holes, which will help new golfers to select the right clubs to use. MACORP, which sponsors one of the big competitions at the Lusignan Golf Club– the MACORP Open– has been attached to local golf for the last 15 years.
