15TH ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
ROTARY CLUB OF PRINCES TOWN HOSTS ITS 15TH ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
Sunday 01st March 2015 was an exciting day for golfers who participated in the Club’s 15th annual golf tournament at Usine Ste. Madeline Golf Course hosted by the Club under the leadership of its President Jamir Ousman.
As the sun rose on the beautifully prepared golf course 32 teams representing various corporate sponsors filed into the Usine Ste. Madeline Club house to register and partake of a local breakfast of fruit, sandwiches, bake, buljol and doubles.
The Clubhouse came alive with the bustle of activity as the well-decked golfers socialized and were invited to take chances in our innovative raffle, which was the brainchild of President Jamir’s son Ronald Ousman.
The players enthusiastically set off at 9:45 a.m. to participate in the Club’s Alternate Shot Stroke Play tournament eager to take home the Club’s Raubin Harnarine Challenge trophy and some of the excellent prizes on display to be won.
Despite some scattered showers during the course of the day, players determinedly completed the tournament, which came to an end at about 3:00 p.m.
Thereafter dinner was served with a ready supply of Blue Moon beer sponsored by NWT Enterprises Ltd. and distributed by their models on site as well as a variety of other refreshments.
After dinner the prize giving ceremony commenced with the first prize of the tournament being won by cousins Manny & Raj Bhimull who played for Tiger Tanks, the second prize being taken home by players from Honeywell and third by players on behalf of TGU.
Nine top prizes were presented to the players. Over ten prizes were also presented to winners of the raffle who expressed pleasure over their receipt of the raffled items, which ranged from golfing prizes to car products sponsored by National Petroleum Ltd. and a variety of other items.
The event came to a close at approximately 5:30 p.m.
The Club wishes to thank its Club Administration Director Rishi Ramlogan for co-ordinating yet another successful event with the assistance of his committee and other Rotarians; Honorary Rotarian Peter Chang who has been involved with the event from its inception for his continued dedicated efforts towards ensuring its success and all Rotarians, partners in service and friends who turned out in support of the event for their dedicated service and participation.
The Club wishes to specially recognise the Ousman Family members for their contribution to the event’s success, Tara Ousman for her excellent décor of the Club House and Ronald Ousman for his assistance in sourcing some of the amazing prizes in the USA and bringing them to Trinidad as well as his assistance overall in the co-ordination and execution of the event.
The Club remains committed to the ideals of Rotary and to Lighting up Rotary.
