Lakhan cops April Savannah golf

Victor Lakhan has won the April Medal golf tournament with a record score of 23 shots.

He beat favorite Raymond “Zorro” Eccles by six shots on the par 29, nine hole Queen’s Park Savannah Course in Port-of-Spain. The tournament was organised by Noel Bovell. Lakhan’s performance earned him the gross prize, Andrew Young was the handicap winner with a two under par total. Clarence Newton and Robbie Greenidge took the minor prizes with even pars, while Bessie Carrington was the pick of the female players. The junior division was the stage for sibling rivalry with Richard Charles eventually beating his brother Alex for the junior prize. Parc Distributors of Carlos Street, Woodbrook sponsored the prizes. The event made golf coach Ewart Marcelle confident that on the basis of their play, a number of players were ready to move on to conventional golf courses.
