MGA holds monthly ace tomorrow
The Marianas Golf Association resumes its hunt for the August Ace of the Month tomorrow, Sept. 19, with registration starting at 9am and tee time an hour after at the Coral Ocean Point Golf Resort.
The MGA August Ace was set last month but the 30-member strong group cancelled the event after several of Saipan’s golf courses suffered some damage following Typhoon Soudelor’s destructive winds.
MGA president J.J. Atalig is encouraging all of their members and at the same time reminding all Ace of the Month winners to come and participate in their weekend event.
Harry Nakamura (January), Calvin Yamagishi (February), Jess Seman (March), Martin Naputi (April), Jenny Hegland (May), Chandler DeLoatch (June), and Jay Muna (July) are the Ace of the Month winners.
MGA secretary Geri Dela Cruz said that despite being behind in holding the August Ace, they believe that they can squeeze in and hold two monthly tournaments, September and October Ace, next month.
The MGA said that they are still accepting new members and is encouraging everyone to join their golf association.
MGA was established three years ago and now has 30 active members made up of young and senior, rookies and veterans, and men and women CNMI residents who enjoy playing golf.
The group, recently, also made a donation of $500 to join other local organizations in a fundraising drive for school supplies by public elementary school students.
Joey Dela Cruz (vice president), James Benavente (treasurer), Chandler DeLoatch (tournament director), and Jerry Ayuyu (handicap chairman) join Atalig and Geri Dela Cruz as officers of MGA.
