CAGAYAN DE ORO—The prestigious PAL Interclub golf tournament will make its return to Davao City next year.
Atty. Doming Duerme, vice president for Mindanao operations of the organizing Philippine Airlines, confirmed on Tuesday Davao’s hosting of the annual golfest, the country’s longest-running amateur golf tournament which draws no less than 167 teams, and counting.
“It’s go for Davao,” Duerme said on the eve of the Regular Men’s tournament.
Although Davao City is set to host the event following the regular hosting cycle, Cebu City was reported to have been a sentimental choice to make its own return to the Interclub scene after it last played host in 2001.
Apo Golf and Country Club and Rancho Palos Verdes are the regular the venues of the Interclub.
Meantime, four Davao teams are seeing action in the Regular Men’s play at Pueblo de Oro and nearby Del Monte Golf and Country Club. Davao Golf and Country Club will be seeing action in the Founder’s Division while Apo and Rancho Palos Verdes will be competing in the Sportswriters’ Division. Lanang GC and C will be the fourth Davao team entered in this event backed by platinum sponsors Boeing, Airbus, Radio Mindanao Network, Business Mirror and Interactive Broadcast Media (DWWW).
Major sponsors are People Asia, 105.1 Crossover, GE Aviation, Asia Brewery and Traversing the Orient. Also lending support are corporate sponsors Manila Bulletin and Bombo Radyo Philippines, while minor sponsors are Lufthansa Technik Philippines, MasterCard and Century Park Hotel. Prize donors include Panasonic Avionics and Tanduay. (NJB)
