Dear Sports Editor,
As Public Relations Officer of the Lusignan Golf Club, we, the Executive of the Lusignan Golf Club stand in support of Club President Aleem Hussain, despite the announcement of his sordid past by one media house, especially since what is now public news was already known over two years ago before he began to be active in the Club.
Aleem Hussain was voted into office as President by members who looked beyond his past and have been well satisfied that since his involvement – beginning October 2017 when he singlehandedly brought off a successful international Guyana Open Tournament in 2017 – he has made a greater positive contribution to the LGC and Golfing in Guyana than any other previous President in the history of the Club.
Being cognizant of his past – a history that Aleem Hussain has not shied away from – the Executive has been satisfied that President Hussain has moved forward in life and has dedicated himself to making an excellent contribution in whatever area he finds involvement. This visionary, tireless, indefatigable leader has had a few critics, opponents and gainsayers within the Club, but then so has every previous President, or Executive, and in fact by some of the very same persons, who like Judas of old, always seek to undermine and betray the leadership in some unimaginable ways.
Aleem Hussain – with a winsome, frank and always-looking-for-a-solution personality – like so many great and visionary leaders, accomplishes much in double-quick time, is impatient with the inevitable delays of sub-committee, has little tolerance for mediocrity and succeeds where thousands of others would have failed if faced with the same challenges for accomplishments.
To date, in terms of golfing in Guyana -to mention only a few things – Aleem has pioneered a new method of international tournament sponsorship for the Guyana Open; has seen the Course maintained in pristine condition throughout the year; for the first time in the Club’s history has realized golf playing throughout the year because of a significantly improved golf course; has taken golfing to schools and the University (a dream and hope of previous administrations); and has personally involved his finances in ensuring development and operation of the Club (a feature several previous Presidents and Executive members have also done).
With regards to the activity concerning Jack Nicklaus which was used to bring these disclosures to the fore, it needs to be noted that nothing great was ever accomplished by those who were content with the status quo. But significantly, those foreigners involved in the project had done their own background checks and were satisfied that it was worth their time and investment to be involved with Mr. Aleem Hussain, in this multi-million dollar project which once successful will redound to the benefit of Guyana and Guyanese.
At the end of the day, few of us can boast of morally perfect living, but history records that even He who lived the most morally perfect life was crucified because He was doing only good! The Lusignan Golf Club Executive stands by President Aleem Hussain.
