NOW in its fifth year, Oakley was once again proud to host the Oakley Golf Cup, with participants comprised of CEOs, celebrities, seasoned players, aspiring athletes, golf enthusiasts, as well as the media who swung their golf clubs for a cause last May 29 at the Sherwood Hills Golf Club.
This annual charity event for the benefit of The Junior Golfers League is presented by Oakley to encourage a thriving competitive golf future for the country by developing the potential of young, talented golfers such as the TJGL, the grassroots development league of the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines.
Despite the tough competition, the players enjoyed the 18-hole system 36 game. Skills, patience and their heart for golf were tested, as playing golf is not a walk in the park, but Oakley’s Prizm Lens Technology has brought to the game to a whole new level of clarity.
In the Men’s Division Class A, Jeff Bernaldez emerged as Champion scoring, with 74-06 = 68 and Jeorge Gallent winning 1st and Joey Anclano bagging the 2nd Runner up scoring 69 and 70 respectively. Meanwhile in the Men’s Division Class B, it was Vandolph Quizon who came out on top with a 92-20 = 72, followed by Rico Tolentino as 1st Runner Up, scoring 92-20= 72 and Jonjon Dela Rosa as 2nd Runner up with 92-22 = 72.
