While the pandemic literally shut down sports worldwide, in Guyana the game of golf, through the exclusive efforts of the Guyana Golf Association (GGA), Nexgen Golf Academy, and Ministry of Education Allied Arts Unit, took advantage of the conditions and soared to extraordinary heights in 2021.
In July 2020, President of the GGA Aleem Hussain, made a bold prediction that he would make golf the number one played sport in Guyana in less than two years, a sport that had less than 100 persons involved at the time. To many, it sounded like wishful thinking, in a country that is rooted in cricket and football.
