THE powerhouse ICTSI Team will make its much-awaited debut in the Fil-Am Golf Invitational, ensuring a top-caliber competition in the summer capital that is Baguio City.
The seniors event is on Nov. 27-Dec. 2 and the men's regular is on Dec. 6-11.
ICTSI will be topbilled by national standouts Peter Villaber and Dante Becierra when it competes in the championship flight of the Fil Division in the annual spectacle presented this time by Toyota.
Villaber and Becierra will be joined by Sonny Boy Giallom, Justin Limjap and Carl Santos Ocampo in the largest gathering of amateur golfers from around the globe sponsored by American Eye Center, Rudy Project, Wilson Sports, Gatorade, Carts Plaza and Supreme Bikes.
But ICTSi will find Manila Southwoods a tough foe in the tournament still considered by the Guinness Book of World records as the world's biggest golf event, participation-wise.
Southwoods boasts of realiables Jun Jun Plana and Jikjik Abdon, who will team up with Chucky Hong, Theody Pascual and Justin Dy in the tournament set both at the Baguio Country Club and Camp John Hay courses.
Mizuno is also returning and will be led by King Sthemeier and Juami Rocha, who are joined by John Baron Garcia, Rodel Mangulabnan and Richard Joson in the nation's longest running golf team championship.
The Batangas Barakos will be spearheaded by Mark Mendoza, Howie Sison, Dino Jimenez, Jeck Mendoza and Gerald Katigbak in the tournament supported by Dusit Thani Manila, New World Renaissance Hotel, Island Cove, Uniliver, Ritzgolf Sports Marketing and Willow Tree.
Hole in one prizes include a Toyota Vios for holes number 10 at BCC and CJH.
A Yamaha Golf Cart is also a hole-in-one at holes 1 and 18 at the BCC and holes 4 and 15 at CJH. A ace-maker at holes 16 of BCC and 13 of CJH wins a Kymko motorcycle.
One gift certificate for Cataract Surgery with Multifocal Intraocular lens implantation will also be given at holes 7 and 11 of BCC and CJH, respectively.
Some 66 teams from around the globe are set to play in the two-week tournament now on its 61st straight year, a tribute to Filipino-American friendship began in 1949.(pr)
