ASIAN LADIES GOLF TO BOOST BAGUIO TOURISM

The inaugural Camp John Hay – Asian Ladies Team Championship scheduled October 27-29 is expected to boost tourism in Baguio City and the sport in the Philippines.

This latest international tournament in the country, organized by the Camp John Hay Golf Club headed by chairman Robert Sobrepeña, will involve golf clubs in Asia, from around the country, and the club members of the Women’s Golfers Association of the Philippines (WGAP).

“We are focusing on this tournament to promote Camp John Hay and the whole city of Baguio as the premiere tourist destination in the North,” Sobrepeña said.

Envisioned as an annual event featuring Asia’s top lady golfers, Sobrepeña said Asian teams will come from the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia, to name a few.

Competition will be team and individual. Thirty (30) teams consisting of six members and two alternates each will play. If it wants more, they will have to be wait-listed.

Entry fee, already inclusive of opening cocktails, giveaways, awards night and free practice rounds, is P 4,000.00 each player. Registration ends October 15.

Participating teams may avail themselves of special accommodation packages that the Camp John Hay Manor Hotel, John Hay’s 187-room condotel facility, is offering during the competition.
