The opening ceremony at the Great House was attended by Premier Cora Richardson Hodge, sports and tourism minister Cardigan Connor and Anguilla Golf Association representative Val Banks.
Noel Egan, president of the Anguilla Golf Association and ECGA, delivered the keynote address, translated into French by general secretary Meggan Cavalier.
At the end of the weekend, the awards were presented at a dinner at the Great House attended by minister Connor and ministerial advisor Evans McNiel Rogers.
Egan told Anguilla Focus: “The tournament course proved a challenging trial for all of the golfers, most of whom were playing in Anguilla for the first time.
“Yet despite the serious competitive nature of the sport, they were all complimentary of the course conditions and the slick organisation of the event.”
He said the event was a “huge success for all involved” and allowed Anguilla’s “wonderful beaches, restaurants and fantastic hospitality” to be showcased.
Egan thanked the Government of Anguilla, the Anguilla Tourism Board, the Sports Department and corporate sponsors for their support.
These included NCBA Limited, ANGLEC, Topper’s Rhum, Anguilla, Grand Vins de France, Safe Cargo Services, King Ocean Services, Hi-Tek Signs, Lloyds Live, D Richards and IAH Productions.
He also thanked Richard Phillips and Scott De Long.
