The Nexgen Golf Academy teed off its Hole-in-One Challenge at its headquarters on Woolford Avenue and attracted a wide array of participants on Sunday evening. The challenge saw the players attempting to hit the golf ball into the holes in one attempt.
Sponsored by Nexgen Golf Academy, Roraima Airways and Guyana Beverages Inc., the competition offered players three opportunities to win attractive prizes, including trips to Kaieteur Falls and Arrowpoint Resort, as well as hampers filled with products from Guyana Beverages.
However, despite several close attempts, no one managed to win the Roraima Airways prize packages. However, according to Captain Gerry Gouveia of Roraima Airways they will be allowing the prizes to be rolled over to the next Hole-in-One Challenge, giving another opportunity for a lucky player to claim them.
The competition itself was fiercely contested with Philip Haynes emerging victorious, narrowly defeating 11-time Female Guyana Open champion Christine Sukhram to take first place. The winners took home hampers filled with a variety of products from Guyana Beverages.
The next competition will be held on September 22 at the Helena Cricket Ground in Mahaica in partnership with Premier Insurance.
