FIL-TAGA ACE OF THE MONTH TOURNEY ON OCT. 16
The Fil-Taga Golfers Association will hold its October Ace of the Month Tournament on Sunday, Oct. 16, at the Marianas Country Club golf course.
According to tournament director and club president Ted “Golden Bear” Malaran, show time is set at 11am with tee-off time scheduled at 11:30am.
For more information on the October Ace of the Month Tournament, Fil-Taga contact Malaran at 322-1234 or 287-1227.
Established in 1993, Fil-Taga’s tournaments operate under a computer-controlled handicap system that creates parity among players in the A and B Flights.
A Fil-Taga Ace of the Month champion is crowned monthly. Regular tournaments are scheduled once a month, normally every third Sunday. Green fees are in the $35 to $40 price range for most tournaments.
ENTICER SERIES FINAL RACE ON OCT. 22
The Northern Mariana Islands Triathlon Federation would hold its final event of the Enticer Series on Oct. 22.
The NMITF also said that the race that had previously been slated for an evening start is now ready for the early risers as the first swimmers will take to the water at Pau Pau Beach at 8am, with registration between7am and 7:45am.
The rookies return to the lagoon for their toughest test to date during the 600m swim, and once out of the water, the budding triathletes will transition to the 16km bike course that will lead them down the winding Marpi roads and back to the parking lot. From there the swimmers-turned-bikers will transition to the run’s 4k course.
All of the distances are doubled from the second race, and the NMITF has a tune-up event for those looking for a little more of a challenge in the form of a double-sprint distance race. The swimmers will spend a little more time in the water during the 1,200m course and will double the Enticer distances by taking two loops on both the bike and run courses.
The cost to participate in all of the Sprint/Enticer races is $5 for NMITF members and $10 for non-members. The cost of an annual membership is $25. To pre-register for the races, send your intentions to sueknecht1@yahoo.com.
