STA. BARBARA, Iloilo – An array of Italian-made trophies and Rudy Project products are just among the exciting prizes that will be put at stake when the 1st Governor Niel Tupas Sr. Cup reels off at the Iloilo Golf and Country Club on July 22.
Tournament chairman Oscar C. Nava, a Past District Governor of Rotary International 3850, said the gleaming trophies will be put on display at the lobby of the IGCC in Sta. Barbara this weekend to whet the interest of golfers from Iloilo, Bacolod and Cebu.
Nava said this tournament, which is being sponsored by the Rotary Club of Iloilo City to raise funds for its community projects, will also gain an international flavor with the expected participation of about 15 Rotarians from South Korea.
“We have confirmation from the Rotary Club of Sae Goyang that about 15 of its members will be flying over to take part in the tournament,” Nava said.
This is a gesture of the Korean Rotary Club’s continued support for its sister club, Rotary Club of Iloilo City, he added.
Tournament co-chairman Johnny Young said the ElectroBus company will also offer a golf cart as prize for a hole-in-one during the tournament.
This is in addition to an LG Collins split-type airconditioner as prize for the hole-in-one, Young said.
The tournament is open to Classes A, B, C and D for the men’s division and a lady’s division.
To cap the tournament, an evening of entertainment and food will also be given as treat to the players in what Nava described as one of the biggest and most exciting tournaments in Iloilo.
