Southern Junior Classic tees off today

CEBU, Philippines - The 8th Southern Junior Classic tees off today at the Cebu Country Club with a field limited to 100 players.

This two-day event is organized by the Junior Golf Committee of CCC headed by lawyer Jovi Neri.

Competitions for all categories except for class E would be two rounds of 18 holes. The youngest group will only play nine holes per day.

There will be the boys and girls’ divisions for all age categories.

Since there are more participants in the boys’ class, prizes will go to the top three based on their gross scores. For the distaff side it will be for the top two.

The entry fee for the event is pegged at P1,000. This entitles the player to giveaways, raffles, and a free round for practice yesterday.

The event is mainly backed by Red Golf.
