Memorial Classic takes place on Nov. 8

The Refaluwasch Golf Association will be holding its Inaugural Memorial Classic on Nov. 8 at the Marianas Country Club.

Club tournament director Jess Wabol said the Memorial Classic replaces the Turkey Shoot to honor RGA’s departed members Plas Tagabuel, Sid K. Peter, and Tony Taitano.

Wabol said unlike the annual Turkey Shoot—which is strictly for RGA members—the Memorial Classic will be open to all golfers in the CNMI.

The affable former Oleai Elementary School principal also invited players from Saipan Golf Association, Fil-Taga Golf Association, Korean Golf Association, and other clubs on Saipan to take part in the tournament.

Showtime for next week’s Memorial Classic is at 6:30am with tee time set an hour later at 7:30am. Entry fee for the one-day tournament is $100 and entitles participants to a wonderful round of golf, a chance to win cash prizes in the both low gross and double Peoria categories, a ticket to the awards banquet immediately following the competition, and an opportunity to donate to a worthy cause.
