THE second round of the inaugural Sandals Select Chairman’s Invitational Spring Golf Tournament tees off today at the Sandals Golf and Country Club starting at 8:30 pm.

The two-day tournament is an exclusive event for Sandals Select guests, who have previously been to a Sandals or Beaches Resort.

The scramble format tournament has attracted considerable interest, according to Tony Ebanks, general manager of the Sandals Golf and Country Club.

“This is the first time we will be staging the event and we expect a great tournament. Already the participants have been practising on the course and they are all looking to post good scores,” Ebanks noted, adding that “the course is in great condition and the greens are playing well. We anticipate two exciting days of golfing here”.

Ebanks said that a lot of work had gone into the preparation of the course. “We always try and ensure that our course is at its peak condition so that not just tournament players, but our regular guests, have access to a first-class facility.”

Apart from the golf tournament, the Sandals Select guests have been feted at a number of events, including welcome cocktail party and dinner. The event will culminate with a gala awards dinner and presentation in the ballroom at Sandals Ochi Beach Resort tonight.

Kareema Clarke, loyalty manager at Sandals Ochi, noted that the tournament was one of the incentives for Sandals Select guests and she has been extremely happy with the response.
