Lusignan Golf Club President, Patanjilee Persaud ( C ) accepts the cheque from IBGL Operation Manager, Adrian Barrow
Some of the country’s best players are set to compete for a number of trophies including prizes for Longest Drive and Nearest the Pin. Prizes will also be given to the overall best net.
Speaking at the launching ceremony at IBGL’s Head Office on Carmichael Street, the company’s Operation Manager, Adrian Barrow stated that the company had a long term relationship with the Golf Club through his father, Hans Barrow who started the company over 50 years ago and who was a long-standing member of the golf club.
Barrow stated that, “We are very happy to sponsor this tournament from an IBGL perspective. My dad was a very fond player and so it is a fitting tribute to have this tournament. It has been a long time in the making. Covid got in the way, and he passed away, so this is our way of giving something back and to do something that he enjoyed.”
Present at the ceremony was Lusignan Golf Club President, Patanjilee Persaud, Club Secretary Chet Bowling and Club Treasurer Maxim Mangra. Persaud thanked IBGL for the sponsorship and added that, “We are happy that we can play an important part in Adrian’s memories of his dad, and we are very thankful for this sponsorship from a corporate member of society and one of the premier insurance companies in this country.”
In closing, Barrow remarked that this is intended to be an annual tournament, and one that he hopes will be played for many years to come,
“We are hoping for a very successful tournament and a long-lasting relationship between IBGL and Lusignan Golf Club.”
For more information, to register, or to discuss corporate sponsorship, please contact Lusignan Golf Club on 220-5660. Registration Closes at 17:00hrs today.
Presentation of prizes will be held at the completion of the tournament. Tea off time is 12.30hrs.
