A one-of-a-kind game of golf
More than 100 loyal participants had a fantastic time at the 12th Invitational Golf Tournament of the CWC Group of Companies held recently at The Legends Course of the Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club in Cavite. One of Asia’s largest distributors of high-end furniture from Germany and France, the CWC Group has been organizing this annual one-of-a-kind golf play-off for its loyal clients, talented designers, suppliers and friends. At the awarding ceremonies (hosted by yours truly), the dynamic CWC Group president Ruben Tan and energetic vice president Fred Yuson handed the trophies designed by multi-talented artist Claude Tayag to the overall champion Raymond Lacdao and other category winners. Also at stake were two avant-garde ergonomically-designed chairs from ultra-modern Herman Miller — an Aeron chair won by Citibank’s Marthy Marasigan and a SAYL chair won by Miguel Gumila.
