Reynor Dominguez, surprise winner of last year's Rotary 'Golf for a Cause' tournament, will defend his title at the Negros Occidental Golf and Country Club starting March 31 in Bacolod City.

Silay-based Dominguez, who only began playing golf in 2004, took last year's title with 86 points under the Stableford scoring system. "I'm looking forward to the tournament", he said, "I'll be doing my best to keep the title". The 2007 tournament, which will run until April 1, will mark the 10th year the event has been held. It is organized by the Rotary Club of Bacolod Marapara.

The proceeds of the tournament will go to the Club's numerous medical missions each year.

Apart from the increasing number of local and overseas players taking part, the event has also attracted major sponsors including Coca-Cola, DHL and Shangri-La's Mactan Resort and Spa, a press release from organizers said. A number of Rotary clubs in the UK and Australia are also supporting the event.

"The tournament is a vital part of our annual fund raising program", club president Robert Harland said.

"It is always a terrific occasion, but most important, it raises much-needed funds which enables us to carry out our medical missions for indigents who normally would not be able to afford to see a doctor or buy medicines," Harland added.

Players can sign up on the first day of the event at the Negros Golf and Country Club. Registration is pegged at P1,300 which covers 'gimmes' and two Mulligans as well as the awards night dinner.*

Interested parties may contact tournament director and past president Alfredo 'Peb' Reyes at cellphone number 0918-9013030 or Harland at 433 2036 or 09163437048.*
