The Invitational stakes big prizes

MANILA, Philippines —  A grand celebration making its 11th year comes off the wraps Nov. 21 as four brand new cars – two for the grand raffle and two as a hole-in-one prizes – will be at stake in The Invitational, a two-man team tournament of the Summit Point Golf and Country Club in Lipa City.

Headlining the grand prizes are the 2018 Toyota Vios 1.3J M/T and Wigo 1.0E M/T, which goes to the winning team in the raffle in the four-day tournament, which has already drawn more than 300 players – the largest number in terms of participation in its history, said Summit Point president Robbie Leviste.
