Highlands Ladies stakes Asian cruise for ace

MANILA, Philippines — A Royal Caribbean Asian cruise for two and a brand-new Srixon set of men’s clubs will be among the loads of prizes staked for hole-in-one feats in the Highlands Ladies Cup which gets going tomorrow at Tagaytay Midlands Golf and Country Club.

The Srixon set and the Asian cruise will be up for grabs on Nos. 12 and 17, respectively, according to the organizing Tagaytay Highlands Ladies Chapter, which has tapped the adjacent Lucky 9 course as the other venue to accommodate the full-packed field of 200 players vying in the 12th staging of the annual tournament backed by Diamond sponsors Auto Nation Group, Inc., Pacific Online and W Group of Companies.

Asiana Air is also putting up a three-day, two-night stay in  Seoul courtesy of Regent Travel for an ace on No. 3 while an original acrylic painting of Pebble Beach hole No. 7 will also be offered on No. 5.

If no one scores an ace, the Asian cruise, the Korean trip and the acrylic painting will be raffled off during awards rites.

The event is supported by Platinum sponsors BDO, Leisure & Resorts World Corp., Powerball Gaming & Entertainment Corp., Royal Caribbean Corp., San Miguel Corp. and Security Bank.
