Maersk hosting inaugural golf tourney

An exciting day of golf is expected tomorrow as the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) collaborates with the Danish shipping company Maersk to host the inaugural Maersk Golf Tournament.

Rivalry among the local golfers is expected to be fierce especially for those who are yet to win a title in 2014.
