BAGUIO, Philippines – The ICTSI Jungolf Summer Circuit kicks off today with the first of 10 events dubbed as the ICTSI Baguio Country Club Junior Open at the Baguio Country Club.
Metro Manila kids will mix it up with homegrown bets in the short 36-hole event signaling the start of a long summer that will bring local jungolfers to the country’s most exclusive courses as far south as Cebu.
Aside from ICTSI, the summer circuit being organized by the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines also enjoys the support of Pancake House, Teriyaki Boy, Sizzlin’ Pepper, PAL, Duty Free Philippines, McDonald’s, Golf Depot, Pioneer Insurance, PacSports, Julies Bakeshop, Inquirer Golf and B Hotel.
The Baguio leg gives families spending the Lenten break at the summer capital a chance to warm up for the bigger tournaments ahead, including the Jungolf Interclub on April 11-13 at Eagle Ridge.
The BCC course will test jungolfers’ accuracy with its rolling terrain, narrow fairways and greens that bedevil even some of the country’s best amateurs in its annual hosting of the Fil-Am championships.
Players will vie for top honors in the following age-groups: Class A (15-17 years), Class B (13-14), Class C (11-12), Class D (9-10), Class E (7-8) and Class F (6 years and under).
