The calendar has flipped to March and the Unit of Allied Arts (UAA) in collaboration with the Guyana Golf Association (GGA) and NexGen Golf Academy has plans to get the month off with a bang with a Golf Skills Challenge for schools in four days.
The Virtual Inter-Schools Skills Challenge will be held between 09:00h-11:00h on Friday.
The Golf Skills Challenge will take the form of an activity for students to score points by hitting golf balls towards a target.
The target circle must be placed 50 yards away from players (the players must be six feet apart at all times).
Students will score points according to where the ball lands on the target:
1. The center scores 50 points
2. The inner ring scores 25 points
3. The outer ring scores 10 points
4. Balls outside the circle scores 5 points
The virtual inter-school skills challenge will take place at each school’s respective play field. In the event of a tie, a playoff will be held immediately so teams are asked to remain in place until the Unit of Allied Arts declares the final winner.
The schools with the same score will take part in a playoff involving one male and one female player who will represent the school for the playoff.
In the event there is a continued tie, another male and female player will rotate to represent their respective schools until a final result is achieved.
Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female and the top five schools.
The sponsors on board this event are NexGen Global, Assuria General Insurance, Copa Airlines, Guyana Golf Association, Trophy Stall, AR Printery.
