GET golf tourney tees off June 18
THE GET Open Golf Tournament, the longest running golf event in Davao City, tees off on June 18 at the scenic Apo Golf and Country Club.
Tournament chairman Boy Ramos said around 250 to 300 shotmakers from Davao and the neighboring Mindanao areas, as well as those in Manila, are coming to fight it out for the crowns.
The 18-hole event using the Stableford system of scoring offers attractive prizes to the winners both in the team and individual categories.
Ramos said the maximum handicap is 27 and the tournament will have a shotgun start at 5:30 a.m.
The ceremonial tee off will be held at 11 a.m. with invited guests led by Davao City Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte, Vice Mayor Luis C. Bonguyan, North Cotabato Governor Manny Piñol and Philippine Sports Commission chair William "Butch" Ramirez doing the drives.
Golfers from Davao will be challenged by participants from Cagayan de Oro, Bukidnon, Cotabato, General Santos City and Manila.
Proceeds of the one-day tournament will go to the Mt. Apo School Foundation scholars.
Registration fee is P3,000 for the team and P1,500 for individual entries. (CRAM)
