RP International Golfshow slated at SMX next weekend

MANILA, Philippines - The Golf Development Association of the Philippines is staging the 14th Philippine International Golf Show Sept. 4-6 at the SMX Convention Center.

Distributors of giant golf brands such as Adam’s Golf, Callaway Golf, Dunlop, Maruman, Mizuno, Nike Golf, PING, Tourstage, Titleist and Wilson are taking part in the biggest golf sale of the year.

Occupying more than 100 booths in the venue are GDAP members Acro Industrial Dev. and Construction Corp., Aetna Enterprises, Besa’s Shoes Inc., Electrobus Consolidated Inc., Gainer’s Marketing Corp./Sun Valley Golf and Dev, Inc., GolfPro Int’l Ltd., Great Depot, Kart Plaza, Master Sports Corp., Pacsports Phils. Inc., Raymundo’s Trophies and Sculptures, RMA Trading, Transview Golf Philippines, Inc. and WS Sports Inc.

A major attraction this year is the hole-in-one challenge, where amateur golfers get a chance to test their skills and go for an ace on the 12th hole of Spyglass Hill Golf Course at Pebble Beach, California, using the state-of-the-art golf simulator of Urban Golf Makati featured at the show.

Players landing closest to the pin during the qualifying round on the first two days and until 5 p.m. of Day 3 will advance to the final round on the last day at 7 p.m.

Aside from the soon-to-be-launched Kia Urban Crossover vehicle, prizes include a business class ticket to the US courtesy of Delta and Northwest Airlines.

“We are hoping that one of the golfers will make a hole-in-one in the final round on the last day especially since this is the first time that we are holding a tournament within the golf show,” says GDAP internal vice president Raymund Atendido.

Show hours are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Admission to the show is free.

The Beaufort supports the event as a silver sponsor. Hole-in-one sponsors are Columbian Autocar Corporation, Delta, Northwest Airlines and Urban Golf. Media partners are Inquirer Golf, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Business World, Jam 88.3, Wave 89.1, Magic 89.9, 99.5 RT, Max 103.5 and 105.1 Crossover.
