[Title] => Unity seen in RP golf as amnesty granted
[Summary] => DOTC Secretary Leandro Mendoza yesterday took over the reins of the National Golf Association of the Philippines by acclamation even as the country’s ruling golf body opened the door for reconciliation by granting unconditional amnesty to all golf clubs it has been at odds with in the past.
They include some 24 member-clubs not in good standing or those that have not paid their dues and the eight clubs that resigned from the NGAP fold due to disagreement with its leadership and policies. The move is also expected to lure the 29 non-member clubs into the NGAP fold.

[Summary] => SILANG, Cavite–J.R. Tanpinco made a pressure-free two-inch par putt as a follow-up to his pressure-packed 140-yard second shot on the 72nd hole yesterday and he and Gerard Cantada scored another dramatic and ego-inflating Konica Minolta Pro-Am two-peat here.
