SGC welcomes four newest members to the fold – Bong Blanco, Steve Kim, Louie Romero and Mike Tang. There is no reason at all for them not to leisurely enjoy SGC’s friendly company every week this summer, meeting new friends and getting involved in social relations associated to playing golf. More pleasantries expected to come for these new members as SGC assures them high standard discipline bounded by regulations and rules of golf involving competition at its highest. Or just plainly playing golf for fun which is good for those with faint heart.

 

At twenty-eight degrees Celsius, last Sunday’s round of golf was a bit too much for the taking for a lot of the twenty-three golfers who played Lakeridge Links. While the scorching sun greeted us from tee off ‘til the end of our rounds, there was no complaining about mother nature this time around but the golf course itself. Whether it was the simmering heat or something else that gave no fruition to better score results, it was obviously the design of this golf course that prevailed, most specially the back nine. It was so long ago that SGC played this course and it clearly showed indicative to player’s not so ideal high scores. On top of it all, the hefty green fee with power cart did not help at all. We got one more round to come much later gentlemen.

Regardless of what unlikely predicament there was, someone would eventually win. And win he did, brilliantly. Ed Ilao coming from a two-week hiatus that was spent somewhere in the Caribbean, topped the leaderboard at Lakeridge Links golf course. Ed proceeded to reel off two birdies adding numerous pars, as he bagged both the best gross of 83 and best net of the day. No one else had posted anything below net in the 60s.

Nassau corners: With a clutch performance, Ed Ilao seized the front nine and total net of 69. A third time for JC Montilla being mentioned in the winning circle grudgingly won the back nine with a clear margin.

Accuracy shots: Who else could shoot the closest on par 3 seventh hole but Ed Ilao? Jun Paculaba seemed to recover the old form from past years to win the water infested seventeenth hole.
