The only island in the CNMI without the luxury of having a golf course is not letting a lack of links hold them back, as Saipan’s cross-channel neighbor is returning to Coral Ocean Point Golf Resort to host the 3rd Annual Tinian Mayor’s Perpetual Cup.
The first drives will leave the tees this Saturday, Sept. 3 with a shot gun start at 10am. Strikers and slicers will vie for the top prize with the low score in the Double Peoria Low Net tournament with a number of ways to win an assortment of prizes.
A chosen few will have the opportunity at winning one of three chances to score a Hole-in-One worth $10,000in addition to the Closest–to-the-Pin prizes of $100 on all par-3 holes.
Duffers will enjoy a round of golf on Saipan’s southernmost course with a view of Tinian’s shores, and following a day on the links, the Tinian Mayor’s Office will be hosting an awards banquet at the Coral Ocean Point Resort pool area.
“It is sure to be an evening of fun and excitement for all with a raffle draw to take place during the night,” said organizers.
All proceeds of this event go to Kids, Arts and Programs (KAP), a non-profit organization in conjunction with the Tinian Youth Center. The goal is to raise funds to facilitate the much needed repairs to the main office of the Youth Center headquarters in San Jose, and to purchase a vehicle to bring the activities to the kids and vice versa.
The cost to enter the event is $100 which includes a day on the links, on course refreshments, and what organizers are terming “an enchanted evening of fun, dining, and raffle prizes.” With less than a week remaining until the big day, entries must be received by tomorrow, Aug. 31.
The Third Tinian Mayor’s Perpetual Cup is proudly sponsored by Tinian Mayor’s Office, Miller Light, Mariana Visitors Authority, FPA Pacific Corporation, Myung Dong, Empress Tours, Tinian Ice & Water, Elite Printing and Coral Ocean Point Golf Resort.
