The Pilipinas Golf Tournaments Inc. has reset ICTSI 2023 Junior PGT Series leg at Pradera Verde Golf and Country Club in Lubao, Pampanga for a later date.
It was originally scheduled for Sunday but organizers said heavy traffic in North Luzon Expressway caused by floods at the Tulaoc area in San Simon, forced them to change plans.
“We have been closely monitoring the traffic situation at NLEX and it has become apparent that the congestion is likely to continue. In this regard, we regret to inform you that the tournament committee has decided to postpone the Junior PGT event (at Pradera Verde) to a later date,” said the organizing PGTI in a statement.
“We apologize for the inconvenience this might have caused you (participants). We will be in touch for further updates regarding the event.”
Forty-eight players were set to vie for top honors and ranking points in the boys’ 13-14 and 15-18 age categories and girls’ 15-18 play in Round 3 of the JPGT Series under the 18-hole stroke-play tournament put up by ICTSI and held at various championship courses.
The series also features the drive, chip and putt skills challenge.
The NLEX management said flooding in the Pampanga area could persist until early next week although it has fortified its sandbagging in affected areas and started siphoning flood waters through pumps.
