The Guyana Golf Academy/H. Nauth & Sons Easter Golf tournament opened on Saturday and will end on April 5 at the NexGen Golf Academy, Woolford Avenue.
The tournament will span out over three days to ensure compliance with the Covid-19 Task Force approval and will offer prizes for the best amateur players who will compete for three holes in addition to chipping and putting prizes.
Golfers of every skill level and age group are invited to play under strict covid-19 guidelines, with an Easter Golf Ball hunt for all ages. In addition, there will be many prizes and trophies to take home as the GGA seeks to expand the game to as many persons, at little or no cost.
Mr. Nauth said “this opportunity to help our children to get involved in a different sport especially during this covid-19 period giving them a chance to play a game that opens many once closed doors (to the majority of our people), was not a difficult decision for me. The Guyana Golf Association and Nexgen Golf Academy can count on our full support and commitment to grow this game.”
General Manager Mohamed Majeed and Project Manager Colin Bowen started playing only a few weeks ago and have quickly become hooked on the sport. “I wanted to play golf all my life but never got the chance until we met Aleem, and in one quick lesson, I realised that I had found a new passion! Both Colin and I are very competitive and everyone we’ve brought to play has enjoyed the experience.” said Majeed.
The company will also dedicate resources to developing facilities for the expansion and teaching of the game across the nation. “We have all the equipment for any type of project so it’s very easy for the company to assist with the development of Golf,” said Project Manager Colin Bowen.
Meanwhile, GGA president Aleem Hussain said that with the support of such a major company, it would make it a lot easier to accomplish the goals set for the development of the game. “Having access to the vast knowledge and massive amount of machinery that H. Nauth & Sons have at their disposal allows us to move faster than ever. We are in a much stronger position because of their commitment and thousands of children will benefit from their involvement.” Hussain ended.
