Registration still on for Mactan golfest

CEBU, Philippines - Registration is still ongoing for the Mactan-Cebu Amateur Open Golf Tournament, which tees off tomorrow at the Mactan Island Golf Club.

The tournament is a project of the MIGC based inside the Mactan Benito Ebuen Air Base in Lapu-Lapu City and is mainly supported by PLDTsme Group VisMin.

Entry fee is pegged at P2,000 per player and the event will use the strokeplay format and will run until Friday.

The player with the lowest gross score will win the title.

There will be an open category and also for the seniors or those 55 years old and above.

Retired General Rodante S. Joya, general manager of MIGC, said that he expects the top players of Cebu and those from other parts of the Visayas and Mindanao to come over.

He said that this event will serve as one of the tune up tournaments for those, who will see action in next month’s Philippine Airlines Interclub in Bacolod City.

The champion for the regular and seniors’ class will each get a trophy and a gift certificate. There will also be gift certificates for the upper 30 percent of the participants.

“The proceeds will be given to the winners,” Joya told The Freeman.

Tee off time for the tournament will be from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon on both days.

Those who would like to join can contact Rhea, Jojho or Tata at 3408598 or 3407719 or 0917-6314314. Registration and queries will be entertained between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.—NLQ   (FREEMAN NEWS)
