As 2023 draws to a close, golf continues to make great strides, with the Ministry of Education Unit of the Allied Arts Priority Programme and Nexgen Golf Academy pushing to advance the sport as one of the Five Priority Areas in Regions 3, 6, 7, and 10.
Master Coach Aleem Hussain was in Region Six on Thursday to train coaches, and several senior members of the Education Department took advantage of his presence to learn the game.
In what has been a successful year for golf in Guyana, it became even better in October when the programme was rolled out in Regions 2, 4, 5, and Georgetown, thereby giving thousands of students access to golf on a weekly basis during scheduled PE classes.
