Demerara Distillers Ltd (DDL) and the Guyana Golf Association (GGA) announced yesterday that the first ever Guyana National Junior Golf Championship, scheduled for this May 20-21 at the Westside Golf Course in Vreed-en-Hoop, will be sponsored under the Savannah Milk brand.

Present at the DDL headquarters for the official announcement were several CSEC students from the Friendship Secondary School, along with GGA’s president Aleem Hussain and Schemel Patrick, DDL’s Brand Communications Manager.

Patrick noted that, “We wish to acknowledge the exceptional work being done by the Ministry of Education Unit of Allied Arts, Aleem Hussain and the Guyana Golf Association with the development of Golf in the country. We’re proud to be associated with this event, as a key focus for us at DDL / Savannah Milk is the advancement of youth through education and sport. We look forward to being a part of this programme that has attracted many women and children players.”

The tournament will be opened to all players ages 10-18 and the team that will represent Guyana at the Caribbean Junior tourney later this year will be drawn from the participants. This event will have three age categories (10-13; 14-16 and 17-18) with 1st-5th place prizes for both male and female players.

Registration closes May 15th and can be done by contacting the GGA via email guyanagolfassociation@gmail.com or calling 645-0944.
