Caribbean Golfers Association holds first tournament in New York
Published on September 10, 2010      Print Version

by Caribbean News Now Staff

NEW YORK, USA -- West Indians are not known to be outstanding golfers but, of late, a large number of Caribbean nationals pay a lot more attention to golf rather than cricket, football or basketball.

They are now so much involved in golf that the Caribbean Golfers Association (CGA) has been established.

The CGA will hold its first Annual Caribbean Amateur Golf Tournament on Saturday, September 18, in which four countries: Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago will participate at the Marine Park Golf Course in Brooklyn.

Prizes will be awarded for first placed teams, closest to the pin, longest drive and putting contests, as well as a chipping contest at the range.

The tournament co-ordinators are Mark Woseley and Buddy Cooper, who has been instructing golf over 20 years.

Guyana has named a strong team and are optimistic of winning. The team includes Salim Rashid, Bud Singh, Karl Ramjeet, Chris Guyadeen, Anwar Shaffie, Farook Hossein, Akbar Razack, Alim Hasratali, Desmond Magul, Mike Budhan, Mark Woseley, and Alim Badrudeen.

It will be nice if the tournament can be held in the Caribbean instead of United States
