  1. Congrats to all the players and winners for making the tournament a resounding success. I wish more and more Antiguans and Barbudans pick up this lovely sport of golf. Who knows, we may one day reach the PGA. Paul is close to that.

  2. @From The Sidelines…Yes Indeed! Yes indeed! Many more Antiguans and Barbudans should take up the sport of golf.

    However, due to the high costs of golfing gears, course fees, club memberships and public facilities, it’s not as attractive to many as cricket, football, basketball, swimming, track etc. Plus scholarships are few and far between to attend Colleges and Universities.

    A couple of things which can assist in advancing the game, especially among kindergarten to High School.

    A…utilize a portion of the Community Sporting fields by incorporating even just putting greens and when space permits, venues like those sponsored by the PGA known as First Tee.

    B…Collect used golf gears from bags to clubs to other accessories from Charities such as the Goodwill, Salvation Army, Walmart(they get donations of such constantly). While they may not be top of the line gears, golf clubs can last for decades. I’ve donated hundreds to the schools program and have hundreds more stored in Point and have access to many more, through a Non-Profit.

    C…The recent phenomenon in Golf besides the WM Phoenix Open with its Calypso Golf and Carnival Style atmosphere is #TOP GOLF.
    Top Golf would make a great addition to the Tourism product, attract a particular clientele and no doubt add to the interest of the Sport.
    Think TOP GOLF TOURNAMENT, and how Antigua, Barbuda & REDONDA can be instrumental in this, as we were in the establishment of CALYPSO CRICKET(double decker and Chickee) to the T20 of today.
