Ateneo goes for a record “four-peat” as it clashes with rival La Salle in the annual Classic Cup golf tournament slated on Monday at the Forest Hills Golf Club in Antipolo City.
The Eagles have won the last three stages, including a close battle—just 10 points separated them from the Archers—last year at the Orchard.
The road to victory this year, though, would be tough for either school as Forest Hills’ Nicklaus and Palmer courses are difficult and demanding even to the best pro and amateur golfers.
“I believe there will be excitement as no one holds an advantage at Forest Hills,” said club general manager Raymond Bunquin, who will be one of the spearheads for La Salle.
Ateneo would surely rely on its top guns especially middle- to senior-level age groups, where it got the most points just like in 2018.
“Hopefully, we can also tap contenders among our younger golfers. What we want is to create a balanced team,” said Lovell Gopez, head of the Ateneo Golf Foundation.
To spice up the affair, there will be hole-in-one prizes courtesy of GAC (car), Emirates (airline ticket), Casino Filipino (betting chips), Miura (golf set) and Silicon Computers (GPS Tracker).
