THE Lautoka Golf Club is once again all geared up to host the 2020 Shop N Save supermarket sponsored 18 holes Individual stroke Pro-Am championship at the golf Links on Sunday.

Club president Chong Lee has confirmed a bonanza sponsorship of $3000.

He said the amateurs would compete for $1500 worth of prizes in the Overall, A,B,C, Ladies, newcomers and juniors categories with the professionals fighting for the $1500 cash prize purse.

Lee confirmed a host of novelty prizes in addition to the main sponsorship.

“Lautoka Golf Club is thankful and grateful to Shop N Save directors Babu Rattan Deo and Neeshil Deo to once again come on board with the grand Pro-Am that is expected to attract over 80 golfers. The tournament has come at an opportune time in readiness for our national event, the 89th consecutive Lautoka Open Championship that has been played from 1931, whereby Fiji’s own and former world number one Vijay Singh won back to back titles in 1981 and 1982. Abid Hussein, the 2019 champion of the Pro-Am will defend the Amateurs title with Sunny Kim for the ladies title and Roneel Prakash the professional division.

“Chief guest and consistent LGC golfer and businessman Anil Prasad will once again grace the golf links and present the prizes to the winners of the respective categories.”
