Panasonic Golf Classic tees off today
Some of Jamaica’s leading golfers will hunt major prizes during the inaugural two-day Panasonic Golf Classic, which tees off today at the Sandals Gold and Country Club in St Ann.
The tournament, organised by Sandals Foundation, is a 36-hole medal play, with competitions in four categories — Men’s Open, Men’s Seniors, Men’s Super Seniors and Ladies Open, and is under the auspices of the Jamaica Golf Association.
The charity event, which will also feature a Gala Charity Auction, will have proceeds going towards two Sandals Foundation community projects in the Ocho Rios region — the building of the Seville Golden Pre School in Priory, and the Sandals Golf Academy for youth.
The glittering live and silent auction will be held at Sandals Grande Ocho Rios this evening and will include cocktails and dinner.
Action will get underway on the greens at 7:00 am daily with a number of attractive prizes up for grabs.
Apart from Panasonic, the other sponsors are ATL Autohaus, Chukka Caribbean Adventure Tours, Wisynco, Mystic Mountain, Rain Forest Sea Foods, Lime, Caribbean Producers Limited, Marksman Limited, Stocks And Securities Limited, Omega Medical and the Jamaica Observer Limited.
