Last Saturday was another good day of competitive golf at the Lusignan Golf Club.
The 30 contestants challenged each other on a windy afternoon while observing all COVID-19 protocols.
This was the third consecutive year of the Phagwah golf tournament sponsored by Survival Supermarket.
The winning golfer was Kasim Khan who kept a cool head throughout the overcast afternoon to shoot a gross 74 for a net 67, playing off seven handicap.
In second place was Guyana’s current number one female golfer Shanella London with a gross 80, a 10 handicap and a net of 70.
Hilbert Shields finished in third position after a recount. He shot a gross 84 playing off a handicap of 13 to register a net of 71.
Vijay Deo rounded out the top four with a gross 82, an 11 handicap and a net of 71.
The sponsor, Survival Supermarket chain, is one of the leading modern supermarkets in Guyana and has agreed to continue to support the game of golf in Guyana.
Next week promises to be another sweet treat with the inaugural Bruster’s Ice Cream Challenge. The sponsor has also committed to an annual endorsement.
At the trophy ceremony, representatives of the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) congratulated all the participants for their support of the sport and also thanked Survival Group of Business for another year of partnership.
