MANILA, PHILIPPINES, AUGUST 24, 2011: The members of the AdCongress22 Sub-committee on Golf can very well pat themselves on the back for a delightful 2nd Leg Tournament last July 11 at the Riviera Golf Club. With the weather once again posing a threat, there was no stopping these golf masters.
With Ricky Alegre as Special Events Committee Chairman, Danny Ocampo and Raul Blay as Sports Sub-Committee-Golf Tournament Co-Chairs and Emi Castañeda as Tournament Director as the go-to guys, the golf tourneys have upped the ante every time. First, they went over their target number of players. They got more sponsors. (More sponsors mean more awards and more raffle prizes, get it?) And, they had no less than Over-all Chair Sandy Prieto Romualdez, an avid golfer herself, brave overcast skies on a Monday morning to play.
Having won against ASAP-4As by just 1 stroke in the 1st Leg, UPMG did a repeat as Team Champion, with OAAP as Runner-up. Wake up and whack up people. It’s looking like Media co-host UPMG is the team to beat!
Congratulations go to individual Champions Founder Ian Arceo-Men Class A, JR Hernandez of 4As-Men Class B, Bien Bautista of ASAP-Men Class C, and Robert Garcia of UPMG-Men Class D.
Anthony Cabangon, also of UPMG, won Low Gross Champion, while PANA’s Michael Ong won Low Net Champion. Special awards were also given to Guest players Dr. Efren Alvez and Daisy Reyes for Longest Drive, and Barton Chua for Most Accurate Drive. Winners of Nearest to the PIN were Ricky Alegre of UPMG, Manny Hermosa of 4As and Guest players Apex Dadole.
The AdCongress22 2nd Leg Golf Tournament major sponsors are Toyota and Yakult. Hole sponsor are MyPhone, Whealth and Burlington. Hole-in-One sponsors include The Turf Company, Autohub, Fat Lion and Luneta Advertising. (Aye P. Ubaldo, PANA)
