PGT Orchard Pro-Am

Written: May 17, 2011

            Today’s pro-am day served as a second practice round for this week’s PGT Orchard event sponsored once again by ICTSI.  The tournament will be played in the Palmer Course, site of the 1995 Johnnie Walker Classic attended by many of the once PGA Tour greats.  The course looks to be in great shape.  Greens are running smooth and fast while the fairways are nice and firm making the course play shorter than its yardage.  Because of the roll on the fairways, it’s important make the right decisions off the tee to place the ball in the correct spots.

            It was my first pro-am appearance in an ICTSI PGT event.  You’re invited to participate if you’re ranking is high enough on the Order of Merit.  A guaranteed appearance fee of P2,500 is a great deal just to play the event and practice.  It’s also an opportunity to make connections with the amateurs you get to play with such as today, I got to play with the distributors of Titleist. 

            Tomorrow’s tee time is at 8:00am on hole 1.  I feel like I put in all the necessary preparation.  Tomorrow, it’s time to let it free, stay confident, and most importantly, have fun!  More updates to come!  Check www.pgt.ph for live scoring.
