The 1st Annual Festpac Golf Tournament, a fundraising event organized in part by the Marianas Golf Association, is for the benefit of the CNMI delegation to the 12th Festival of the Pacific Arts set from May 22 to June 4 at the Paseo de Susana Park in Hagåtña, Guam.
The tournament—which has a brand new car at stake as a hole-in-one prize—will be using a two-player, best ball format.
