The event, participated in by schools in Metro Manila, has attracted an all-time high field of 280 players from 32 schools.  

“Envisioned as a venue to forge camaraderie among young talents and to bolster their school spirit, the Inter-School has flourished such that more schools have now acknowledged the significance of golf as a varsity sport worth developing in their institutions,” said JGFP president Luigi Tabuena.
