A spruced-up Palmer course will be in the spotlight when it plays host next week to close to 500 members and guests in the 19th Hyundai Chairman’s Cup, the last major club tournament for the year of Forest Hills Golf and Country Club in Antipolo.
Touted as a tough layout because of its challenging design, improvement of tee boxes and other detailed works were done in time for the Chairman’s Cup and Club Chairman Robert Sobrepeña feels this is the right time to showcase them.
“These were achieved despite the difficulties encountered especially with heavy and continuous rains in the middle part of the year. But plans were fast-tracked through sound management and guidance of the grounds committee,” said Sobrepeña.
“As the course ages, repairs and continuous maintenance works must be done to be sure it is always in championship condition. I am sure the participants will have four enjoyable rounds during the Chairman’s Cup,” added Sobrepeña of Palmer.
