Chairman’s Cup back at Fairways & Bluewater

MANILA, Philippines — The Fairways & Bluewater Resort Golf and Country Club, the premier golfing hub in Boracay, makes its return to the local golf scene as it revives the Chairman’s Cup next month.

First held in 1997, the Chairman’s Cup is aimed at thanking its members and friends for their support to the club’s programs.

“We are excited to bring the Chairman’s Cup into its regular schedule,” said Fairways & Bluewater chairman Wilbur Chan, adding that the 12th staging of the event is also in response to the members’ clamor.

Chan said the club’s board of directors had wanted to present the Graham Marsh-designed course in its championship form and the rehabilitation took a little longer than usual to ensure the readiness of the par-72 layout.

Tasked to implement the course plan is tournament director Raymond Bunquin, whose maintenance team has been working double time to fast track its development.

“The course has vastly improved. The undulating fairways are now rolling like it used to and the greens are maturing just in time for the Chairman’s Cup,” said Bunquin.

Backing up the event are Skyjet Airlines, Gatessoft Corp., Pacsports Philippines Inc., Philippine Airlines, The Turf Company, Pagcor Casino Filipino, Inquirer Golf and Business Mirror.

Aside from the course, the club also houses swimming pools, a spa, gym and offers sports activities like Segway rides and zipline adventure.
