Golfer of The Week – Tebor Marcelino

Tebor is a very familiar name at all golf courses in Davao.
Know why?
This class A golfer, most of the time, finds his way to the winner’s stage.
“Maayo gyud mo dula,” said Philip Daytic, Rancho Palos Verdes Golf and Country Club’s membership committee in-charge.
Marcelino, over-all gross champion of the Monthly Medal Tournament, led Palos Verdes along with teammate Anthony Sasin to victory in the Sportswriters Division of the 59th Philippine Airlines Interclub Golf Tournament, among others.
Marcelino’s victories in Davao City and even outside of Davao have inspired the young golfers to pursue excellence. Tebor takes golf seriously, and it is not surprising that you find his name in the leader board during tournaments.
“The way siya mo bunal, steady ang putting, gina tanaw na siya sa mga batang golfers diri sa Palos,” Daytic added.
And once you play good on a tough course like Palos, it will no longer be that tough when you start playing in other golf courses in the country.
Tebor is a jolly person, but during a golf game he transforms to a serious player. “Kapoy ang golf, ma sayop ka, imo ra nang hinimoan,” said the outstanding golfer.
And once mistakes are committed, a report to the driving range will repair it.
“Ana gyud nang golf,” he tells friends.
But patience in practice and during tournaments will almost always bear fruit — a trophy.
“Basta importante, focus lang sa dula,” he added.  [Moses P. Billacura]
