The Guyana Golf Association (GGA) and Nexgen Golf Academy had a tremendous start to 2023 to boost their efforts for development of Golf in Guyana with recent outreaches to Regions 6 and 8.
President of the GGA Aleem Hussain explained “We met with the Minister of Education and her team on January 12 and since then, we have visited and interacted with 19 schools and 33 PE Teachers from Region 6, 8, and 10. Equipment, balls and training was provided to all schools and the immediate result was implementation of the sport in several schools.”
Students and teachers in far flung areas such as Monkey Mountain, Paramakatoi, Kato and Ķopinang had their first experience holding a golf club and the joy on their faces was a sight to behold as they quickly became adept at hitting a golf ball.
