MULLET BAY—May of the island’s avid golfers took part in the Cariburo Tamarins 18-hole Scramble Louisianne and the 9-hole Scramble Louisianne on Saturday. The tournament was played in fine sunny conditions with 26 players contesting the 18-hole course and 14 on the 9-hole course.
This was the first golf tournament to be played in Mullet Bay since the hurricanes of September. Alain Haillant from Les Tamarins Club came up with the idea to restore some of the trees that were lost in Irma which led to 10 young coconut palm trees and two Eucalyptus trees (generously donated by Jerry Speetjens) and other trees from members of Les Tamarins being planted along the golf course before the start of the tournament.
Results for the 18- hole competition were as follows: 1st Gross Grenouilleau-Cohen,1st Net Hotland-Holmes, 2nd Net Chevreul-Cathelot, 3rd Net Assier de Pompignan-Haillant, 4th Net Rumeser-De Windt.
For the 9- hole competition: 1st Gross Belardinelli-Torres,1st Net Vaubourg-Bouvret, 2nd Net Happy-Nyuiadzi J., 3rd Net Pele Agathe-Pele Jeanne,4th Net Pele Alex-Pele Martin.
All participants enjoyed the after party and prize giving at Rendezvous Lounge in Porto Cupecoy.
