All slots for Mango Tee filled up; big prizes staked

-

MANILA, Philippines - With all 768 slots filled up as early as November last year and a steady stream of sponsors coming in, the 28th edition of the Mango Tee golf tournament of the Alabang Country Club inside the Ayala-Alabang Village is poised to become yet another successful chapter of the country’s most popular member-guest event. 

Scheduled Jan. 30-Feb. 4, the event has drawn interest from members who eagerly awaited if their names were picked in the raffle and from corporate sponsors recognizing the amount of brand support they could draw from the event.

As joint presentors, Smart Communications, Pilipinas Shell Petroleum, Inc., Pancake House and Yellow Cab are chipping in the bulk of the funds where tournament prizes, including at least P1 million worth of raffle items, will come from.

Four premium cars from Mitsubishi Motors Philippines, Inc. and Citimotors are at stale as hole-in-one prizes. Other prizes are three golf carts and a golf set.

Manolet Manosa was the lone player to shoot an ace with an 8-iron tee shot on the 12th hole during last year’s edition of the Mango Tee.

The feat won him a Mitsubishi ASX. The long-time participant, however, died two months after. 

The tourney kicks off on Jan. 28 with the ceremonial tee off and sponsors cocktails at the main dining hall.

From the first day onwards, there will be nightly cocktails with special raffle prizes to be given away for all of those playing in the morning teeoff at 6:15 a.m. and the afternoon teeoff at 12:15.

Among the early sponsors are BPI Assets, Loopex Packaging Products Inc., Versa Group, Golforce, Gatorade, Acacia Hotel, BJ Marthel Int’l Inc., G&W Club Shares, The Turf Company, 357 Boracay, GG&A Club Shares, Airfreight 2100 Inc, Prudential Customs Brokerage, Century Properties, Prulife UK Insurance, Maritime, Safe Seas, Security Bank, City Service Corporation Business Mirror, Rudy Project, Omni Source, Vistaland, Ayala Land and Eurotel.
