The Manila Southwoods Chairman’s Charity Cup gears up for another fun but competitive edition when it fires off on 15 and 16 December with a full-packed field all primed for battle at the Legends and Masters courses in Carmona, Cavite.
To accommodate the huge field of entries, the host club said the number of participants will be capped at 240 on each day.
Entry fee, pegged at P6,000, includes giveaways, breakfast and awards lunch on the final day. Entrants also become automatic contenders in the raffle program.
The event, Manila Southwoods’ flagship tournament which features members and their dependents and guests, made a successful return from pandemic last year, with Jun Jun Plana securing the men’s low gross championship and Raul Magpantay clinching the senior’s low gross trophy.
Under the format, members will play one 18-hole round using the Stableford points system with handicaps. Players must hole out, but to speed up play, players must pick up their ball after net bogey.
Sponsors will also play one 18-hole round using the System 36 format with the provision to pick up the ball after a double-par.
The blue-ribbon event is backed by year-round sponsor Royal Caribbean/Baron Travel and hole-in-one sponsors Starlux Airlines, Ogawa, Mitsubishi Motors, Alpine Motors, Toyota Silang Cavite and Klio International & Tee One (Srixon).
The Platinum sponsors are Abomar Equipment Sales Corp., Cabuyao, Laguna City Mayor Dennis Hain, The Turf Company, Agrexplore Corp., Hanpass, Malveda Properties and Development Corporation/Leads Agri and Tony and Jockey Salon, while Asia Global Technologies and Golforce are the Gold sponsors.
