District Golf - First Leg, Southwoods Aug 27,2010


President Elect Olive Pangilinan represented the Club during the first leg of Governor's Golf Cup held in Southwoods Golf and Country Club. Hoping to repeat her success in District 3810's golf tournament, PE Olive gave all her best as she was against mostly male golfers. It was a long and weather challenge event but unfortunately the Golf gods were not with us that day. But it was still a great event to meet co-Rotarians and have fellowship with them. As they say there is always a next time. - Gil Turgo
