Long Drive champion Phil Reitma donates equipment to Nexgen Golf Academy

Press Release from Nexgen Golf Academy

Phil Reitma, the reigning 2024 National Long Drive Champion, has made a significant contribution to junior golf development by donating much-needed equipment to the Nexgen Golf Academy.

The donation, made on Saturday, aims to support young players in honing their skills and growing their passion for the sport.

Reitma expressed his confidence that the equipment would be well-utilised, given the exceptional work being done by Aleem Hussain and the Guyana Golf Association to expand the sport nationwide.

“The Nexgen Golf Academy has played a key role in our family’s golf journey for years, and we wanted to ensure that more young athletes have access to the tools they need to improve,” Reitma stated.

A single-digit handicap golfer, Reitma captured the National Long Drive title last year with an impressive performance at the Guyana Defence Force ground.

He is set to defend his title at this year’s competition, scheduled for March 28, which introduces new categories for Under-17, Open Male and Female divisions, along with a Straightest Drive prize.

The competition is open to athletes from all sporting backgrounds, with clubs and balls provided. Interested participants can register by calling +592-645-0944.
