A BIG field made up of sports officials and scribes gather for some competition and a lot of camaraderie on Monday when the 4th Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Golf Cup gets off the ground at the Legends course of Manila Southwoods in Camona, Cavite.
From former Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) and Philippine Football Federation (PFF) presidents Al Panlilio and Nonong Araneta to some of the youngest reporters just starting to take up the game, the 18-hole tournament is a day for everyone to get to know each other while they battle for three division titles.
Fun and competition
"We look forward to this day each year," Inquirer sports editor Francis Ochoa, serving his first term as PSA president, said. "It's a day of fun and competition and a day for the reporters and the officials we cover to know each other better and vice versa."
Manila Southwoods will play host to the event for the fourth straight time, and with the help of the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), Premier Volleyball League (PVL), ICTSI and former Filipinas team manager Jeff Cheng, the tournament will go on for yet another year.
The Philippine Amateur Track and Field Association (Patafa), Polylite, San Miguel Corp., Athletic Events Sports Managements (Aces) Inc. Nonong Araneta, Pagss, the PBA, the Best Center, BingoPlus, and MacBeth are also sponsoring the event.
Jerome Delariarte, the ex-The Country Club champion, will not be around to defend the overall championship this year because of duties with Manila Southwoods as the club's assistant general manager.
Champions in Classes A and B for the PSA members and a friends division winner will also be crowned.
