Mt. Carmel, HANMI, NMC to serve as qualifiers
Coordinator Jess Wabol said the upcoming Mt. Carmel School Golf Tournament, HANMI Charity Golf Tournament, NMC Foundation Golf Tournament will all serve as qualifiers for the CNMI National Men’s and Women’s Golf Teams for the 6th Micronesian Games.
The Mt. Carmel School Golf Tournament would be held this Saturday, March 25, at the Laolao Bay Golf Resort east course. It will have a 6:30am registration and a 7:30am tee off.
The HANMI event, meanwhile, will tee of on April 1 also at the Laolao Bay Golf Resort. It will have a 7:30am start.
No details about the NMC Foundation Golf Tournament have been made public yet but organizers have scheduled a media conference on April 3, 10:30am at Hyatt Regency Saipan’s Kili Café Restaurant.
Originally, Wabol said the first round of qualifiers would be made up of 10 tournaments from the white tee after which he said he would trim the field to 16 players—eight each for the men’s and women’s teams.
The second round of trials would then be from the blue tee and after 10 rounds, Wabol is expected to pick five golfers for the men’s team and same number for the women’s team a month or two before the start of the Games.
