Guerrero and Camacho are running for governor and lieutenant governor, respectively, as independent candidates in this year’s election.
“We are encouraging golfers in the CNMI to join this tournament, have fun, and meet their candidates. We prepared great prizes for winners in different flights,” Yumul said.

The Championship Flight is for participants with 0 to 5 handicap, A is for 6 to 11, B is for 12 to 17, C is for 18-22, and D is for 23-and-above.
Yumul said they added the special D Flight, as they want to encourage new golfers to join the tournament.
The top winner in each flight will receive cash prizes and other giveaways courtesy of various sponsors of tournament.
A golfer who will make a hole-in-one shot are guaranteed to win a roundtrip ticket anywhere to Asia courtesy of MITA Travel. Hole-in-one prizes are at stake in the par-3 No. 6, 8, 12, and 15 holes.
Tee-time is at 11am, while check in is at 10am. The awards banquet will follow immediately after the tournament.
