Golf, good food, great vibes: Romel Tournament & BBQ set for Sunday

The Lusignan Golf Club will host the Romel Golf Tournament & BBQ on Sunday, offering a competitive and festive day for golfers and supporters as the holiday season approaches.

The event is designed to bring together players of varying skill levels for a welcoming and enjoyable experience both on and off the course.

The tournament is scheduled to tee off at 9:00 am, adopting a Medal Play format over 9 holes with a shotgun start. This structure promotes an engaging and cohesive pace of play, allowing all groups to begin simultaneously.

Competitors will be placed into three handicap flights—0–9, 10–18, and 19–28—ensuring a fair and balanced contest for every participant.

There will also be a separate category for beginner golfers, encouraging newcomers to enjoy the sport in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Prizes will be presented for Best Net in each flight (1st, 2nd, and 3rd), Overall Best Net, Best Gross, Most Honest Player, Nearest to the Flag on #9 Green, and Longest Drive on Hole #9.

Beyond the tournament itself, attendees can look forward to a vibrant BBQ on the club grounds. The social component of the event is expected to capture the warmth, camaraderie, and festive cheer associated with the Christmas season.

Families, supporters, and golf enthusiasts are anticipated to create an atmosphere of fellowship that extends the day’s enjoyment beyond the final putt.

Golf enthusiast Romel Bhagwandin, in whose honour the tournament is named, shared his appreciation for the event and the community that surrounds it.

“It is truly inspiring to see golfers come together in the spirit of unity and sportsmanship. Golf teaches discipline and integrity, but above all, it strengthens relationships. As the Christmas season draws near, I hope this tournament encourages a deeper sense of togetherness and reminds us of the joy that shared experiences bring. I extend my best wishes to every participant for a safe, enjoyable, and fulfilling round.”

Golfers wishing to participate are encouraged to register by contacting the Lusignan Golf Club at 220-5660. Registration closes at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday.
