National Caddies Open fires off today.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Musong R. Castillo
CALATAGAN, Batangas-Coming from diverse fields of business and profession, a small group of men who share genuine love for golf and sincere compassion for the needy just nailed a shot that will go down as the rarest in the sport.
A well-respected public servant, a champion racehorse owner and breeder, a businessman who rose from very humble beginnings and one who talks and breathes golf are reaching out to give something back.
The National Caddies Open was born not to make popular people out of these four intrepid individuals, but to carve a niche in the world as an organization that makes champions.
Call this tournament the chance at forever having a better life, with no other event in the world having the same claim.
Ben Abalos, Hermie Esguerra, Tony Arevalo and Tommy Manoctoc have embarked on this ambitious undertaking, not only giving the winners the window to improve their lives, but also help the country develop its future stars.
