Some 1,260 players are enlisted, excluding the alternates, in the 62nd Fil-Am Invitational Golf Tournament at the two golf courses as they also vie to make aces on designated holes that will win them a Toyota Vios.

“It’s a go – another year of Fil-Am golf,” said Fil-Am chairman Anthony de Leon as he led Fil-Am and city officials in the ceremonial tee at both courses Friday.

The 62nd edition of the Fil-Am golf is the biggest in history said Fil-Am vice chairman Shin Paul Chan, with a 10 percent increase in attendees from last year.

The tournament proper started Friday (Nov. 25) in the seniors’ side as well as the lower flights of the regular Fil-Am, which is backed by Toyota, Pacsports, Illy, Empire and Wilson.

Half of the 1,260 players finished testing the par-61 BCC course and the par-69 CJH layout as early as Wednesday before they plunge into action tomorrow.

Tournament proper for the senior’s side from flights A, B and the premier championship, as well as the flights F, G and H in the regular Fil-Am, will be until Dec. 1 in the event supported by Fashion Rack, Air21, Rizgolf, Supreme Bike, GPS Tracker, Golforce, San Miguel, Le Chef, Camp John Hay Development Corporation, Beaufort and Bayan Business. - (Manila Standard Today)
