SOCIAL MEDIA

Former National Golf Association of the Philippines president Tommy Manotoc has been elected unanimously as chairman emeritus of the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines.
“The board of trustees of the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines is proud to announce the election of Philippine golf legend Tomas ‘Tommy’ Manotoc as a member of the board of trustees,” said JGFP president Oliver Gan on Sunday.

“In recognition of Mr. Manotoc’s contribution to Philippine golf as a many-time national player, national team coach and captain, former president of the NGAP, and the only Filipino member in the R&A, the wealth of wisdom that he can impart to the JGFP, the JGFP board of Trustees elevates Mr. Manotoc to chairman emeritus,” Gan added.

Manotoc is a respected sportsman, having served as PBA coach and deputy commissioner.

In a related development, the JGFP and the management of the Eagle Ridge Golf and Country Club have signed a memorandum of agreement making Eagle Ridge as the home of the JGFP for the next five years.

Under the agreement, JGFP members can practice for free on weekdays and pay only P500 on weekends.

Eagle Ridge, which is located in General Trias, Cavite, and Riviera Sports in Silang, Cavite are the current venues of the JGFP Inter-School Championship that started last week.

Also, broadcast firm gsat.tv has joined as sponsor of the JGFP, which could possibly lead to the airing of the Inter-School this season.
