We were told that the virus is more dangerous for aged one and I am one of them. You could imagine what went through to my mind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that soon after the Covid-19 was officially revealed in the country in mid-March this year, Lugalo Club decided to close the course, but in place it decided to use the hiatus to upgrade the course.<\/p>\n<p>Luwongo said that the closure was also meant to adhere to the government\u2019s directives as drastic measures to prevent the spread of deadly Covid-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe we were too worried to close the course, as you know golf is one of the non-contact sports, it is easy to keep distance, but I must admit we were worried with the safety of our members and those involved, hence the only way was to close it down,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>But he said now they are happy to resume competitions because of good work from the President and health authorities.<\/p>\n<p>He said members and the entire golf fraternity should know now the club has resumed all golf activities, including all top events at this year\u2019s calendar.<\/p>\n<p>The said events like the Chairman Trophy, Chief Defense Forces (CDF), Trophy of September and Waitara Trophy, will be hosted as planned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also plan to use December Mug to honor our IT specialist Lieutenant Steven Selemani who passed away during coronavirus closure if his family will allow us. He did a wonderful job at the club; therefore the only way to remember him is to have competition in his name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luwongo thanked all members for their calmness and patience during the difficult time, and insisted them to continue observing health directives that will keep them safe from coronavirus infection.<\/p>\n<p>Lugalo Captain Japhet Masai also said after the opening of the events that the Weekly Fiddle and Monthly Mug competitions will be staged in July this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: MBONILE BURTON AfricaPress-Tanzania: LUGALO Golf Club of Dar es Salaam has commended President Joseph Magufuli for his brave fight and commitment in a fight against coronavirus threat saying he has saved his nation from suffering the worst from deadly virus.
