The first ever Inter-Schools golf championships got off to a roaring start this week with five secondary schools from Berbice, Linden, Essequibo, East Coast Demerara and West Coast Demerara participating.
According to a release, the joint project between the Ministry of Education Allied Arts Unit and the Guyana Golf Association (GGA) has seen amazing results in a short time as hundreds of students have been given a chance to play a sport that was only seen on television.
The release added that the pilot programme, which is training students who wish to write golf as a sport elective in CSEC/CAPE, is set to expand to as many as 90 secondary schools by end of 2021.
