As action and hostilities continue in the 74th PAL Interclub golf tournament, the battle for supremacy in the unofficial national team championship will shift now to the Men’s Regular Division.
Two courses with entirely different character will stand in the way of the teams and the prestigious trophies. There’s the relatively flat Cebu Country Club in downtown Cebu City and the rolling and treacherous Club Filipino de Cebu in Danao City.
Davao City will be represented by seven (7) club teams competing in different Divisions namely, Apo Golf Club (Founder’s division), Rancho Palos Verdes Team 1 (Aviator), Davao City Golf Club, South Pacific Davao and Lanang Golf (Sportswriter), and the Davao City Golf Team B and Apo Golf Oro Gold Club (Friendship Division).
The South Pacific Team will be led by veteran Ludwig Van Ledesma and supported by Randy Ceniza, Eugene Chiong, Elvie Naranjo, Wendel Adlao, Ace Salazar, Robert Lim, Alejandro So, Jeffrey Ramirez and lawyer Alro Paglinawan. The team is composed mainly of the Team Recovery 5:30 group.
Team Captain Paul Dacudao will lead the Lanang Golf Club to be supported by Danny Nagayo, Danny Gotera, Bok Mata, Abu Mata, Luis Balajadia, Henry Evangelista, Mikey Dizon, Pogs Cabreros and Mark Villorente.
Rancho Palos Verdes General Manager Tommy Inigo bared the line up for the RPVGCC team 2 led by Ninot Galicia with supporting cast in Roderick Lo, Tope Tan, EJ Casintahan, Leo Yap, Jorge Martinez, Enzo Magno, James Morente, Vince Arcenas and Mikey Hao.
“This young team placed 3rd in the last edition of PAL Interclub in Bacolod city and they’re raring to slug it out for the podium finish with the favorites. The team is composed mostly of the young guns of Davao city” says Inigo.
Youthfull Galicia in a team up with Starbucks executive Junjun Lopez, won the overall title in the recently concluded won 25th Sta. Elena Cup member-guest tournament.
A strong tournament where practically the big guns of the country participated in preparation for the PAL Interclub tournament in Cebu.
The Men’s Regular tournament will be held in Cebu Golf and Country Club and Club Filipino de Cebu from March 1 to 4, 2023.
