COURTS annual golf tournament teed off last Saturday at the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) with a large number of players turning out for the Medal Play Contest. David Mohamad played one of his better rounds of golf as described by the Club Captain to win with a net 63 which shows what practice and perseverance can do, with Joaan Deo taking the second, again in the winning circle with a net 65.
Rawle Moore also recorded a net 65, but lost the runner-up position to Deo, who had a better score on the back nine in the tournament which was sponsored by electronics and furniture distribution giant COURTS (Guyana) Incorporated, which is presently celebrating its 19th anniversary.
Prices were also given out for Best Gross in which Moore and Patrick Persaud recorded 79 and 76 respectively, with Imran Khan for the second tournament in a row taking away the Closest to Pin prize, having done so in the President’s Cup tournament, while Gavin Todd took home the Longest Drive award.
Addressing the players at the presentation ceremony, Managing Director of COURTS (Guyana) Incorporated Clyde DeHaas said he was very pleased to be present for the tournament this year, while he indicated to his audience his Company’s intentions to sponsor the tournament again next year. He then presented all the players and caddies with gift bags.
Meanwhile, Guyana’s leading female golfer Christine Sukhram finished with the best net score while competing in a golf tournament in Trinidad and Tobago last weekend.
The LGC will take a break in proceedings this weekend, as some 20 players have been selected to participate in the Suriname Open in Paramaribo on September 29 and 30..
