Cadogan, Mangal top inaugural ENet golf tournament

The Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) last Sunday hosted the inaugural ENet Golf Tournament, drawing a field of 35 golfers for a day of competitive play under pristine conditions.

The tournament served as an important precursor to the highly anticipated Guyana Open, just a month away.

Emerging victorious in the 0-14 Handicap was Mike Mangal, while Troy Cadogan emerged champion of the 15-28 Handicap.

LGC President Anasha Ally expressed her gratitude to participants and sponsors, acknowledging their commitment despite the tournament coinciding with the mega CPL clash between Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders.

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for being here, especially on a day when there’s a big cricket match,” Ally said in her opening remarks.

She emphasised the importance of sponsorship in sustaining the club, stating, “Every sponsorship that we have at the club, every person who participates helps us to put good energy, put money, put finances into our club, and we greatly value that.”

Looking ahead to the Guyana Open, Ally highlighted the importance of building momentum.

“We’re a month away from the Guyana Open, so I’ve reached out to the committee and the membership to see how many sponsors we can bring for the next few weeks leading up to the tournament. This will ensure we build momentum, have participation, and get in enough practice before the Guyana Open,” she said.

ENet’s Head of Business Devon London also addressed the gathering, expressing the company’s appreciation for being involved with the tournament.

“I just want to express our gratitude for being able to be part of this tournament and show that we are willing to support you guys in the future. We value this association and look forward to offering continued support.”
