LUSIGNAN Golf Club (LGC) will host another edition of the Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society golf tournament today at their East Coast venue.
The Dem Life Golf Tournament will tee off at 12:30 hours following an assembly time of 12:15 hours and will be played over 18 holes under a medal play format.
At a simple presentation ceremony Dem Life’s Sales & Marketing Manager, Dave Persaud, said, “At Dem Life we always support sporting activities. Golf has been a developing sport in Guyana and we always aim to give back at every opportunity. We saw partnering with LGC as a way of our social corporate responsibility as we have done in the past with the club. Hence we are continuing the tradition.”
Golfers will compete across three handicap flights: Flight 0–12, Flight 13–18 and Flight 19–28, with first-place prizes available in each category. Additional prizes will be awarded for Senior Flight, subject to a minimum of three participants, as well as Overall Best Net, Best Gross, Nearest to the Pin on Hole No. 8 and Longest Drive on Hole No. 1.
Demerara Mutual has maintained a longstanding relationship with the club and has sponsored golf tournaments at Lusignan for decades. Historical records show Demerara Mutual-sponsored tournaments dating back to at least the 1990s, with the company described in 2016 as having supported golf in Guyana for nearly 25 years.
The partnership has continued in recent years, with the Dem Life Golf Tournament returning in 2025. That tournament was won by Patrick Prashad, who posted a gross 76 and net 66.
Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society, commonly known as Dem Life, was incorporated by Ordinance 19 of 1891 and has more than 130 years of experience in the insurance industry.
The company provides life insurance solutions designed to help individuals and families protect their financial futures.
The company continues to offer a range of life insurance products, including whole-life, endowment, critical illness, mortgage protection and universal life plans.
Its continued investment in golf represents more than sponsorship, however, with the annual tournament providing an opportunity to bring together golfers, corporate partners and members of the wider community in an atmosphere of competition and camaraderie.
Lusignan Golf Club anticipates a competitive field as players look to challenge for honours across the various flights and special prize categories.
The club also extends appreciation to Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society for its continued partnership and commitment to supporting golf and sporting activity in Guyana.
