The Leeward
Golf Association is a member of the Trinidad and Tobago Golf Association.
The LGA was initiated in 1989. Golf has been a feature of the Tobago
Landscape since 1978 and Tobago has benefited from and produced a number
of worthy players. The early programmes yielded notable players like
Carlos “Sexy” Baynes, a former member of the Leeward Golf
Association and one of the most respected national players. The Leeward
Golf Association is therefore maintaining the tradition of involvement
of the youths in Golf.
The 2000
Junior Golf Programme (November 2000) exposed 12 youths between the
ages of 5-17 to the rudiments of golf, ably assisted by members, parents
and resident Pro: Mr. Winston Roberts. The
enrollment has grown five-fold to a number of 60 youths in the past
years, which is a testimony to the first programme. Support for the
basic equipment and prizes for competitors have been forthcoming from
a donor as a partner of the Leeward Golf Association.
The Leeward
Golf Association held four major youth tournament in the past three
years at the Mt. Irvine Bay Golf course, which has been offered generously
by the Mt Irvine Bay Golf Club as the home course of the Leeward Golf
Association.
