The 18-hole tournament, long considered as one of the most fun-filled tournaments in the land, will have a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. with around 200 players expected to see action in the annual event to be played under the System 36 scoring format.

Felix Ang, president of CATS Motors, Willie Ocier, vice-chairman of Belle Corp., and Sandy Prieto-Romualdez, chair of sponsorship committee and Highlands sports captain, are expected to hit the ceremonial drives to kick off the tournament which also serves as a fund-raiser for THLC’s charity mission.

Keen but friendly competition is seen in the upcoming event the way it did last year when Marissa Romano shot a net 71 then edged Carina Ricamonte in the countback to capture the ladies crown. Other events on tap are the men’s Classes A, B and C competitions and seniors category.

Fabulous prizes will be up for grabs in various categories of the tournament, also held to foster camaraderie among the country’s top golfing lady executives and corporate bigwigs as well as their guests in the government and private sectors.
