(NMC) — With only a month left before the tournament, the Northern Marianas College Foundation is encouraging all golfers to register for the Golf Open which is set for March 18 and 19, 2023.
For the first time, NMC’s tournament will be a two-day event and will be held on the East and West Courses of the LaoLao Bay Golf and Resort. The tournament fee for the open is $250 per player. First place winners in the Men’s Championship, A, B, C, Senior, and Ladies Flights will each receive $500. Second place finishers will receive $300 and third place finishers will receive $200.
This year’s tournament will feature thousands of dollars in amazing hole-in-one prizes, such as a $10,000 shopping spree at Top Shelf Wine and Spirits, $10,000 from Ambyth Shipping and Seafix Inc., $5,000 from Pacifica Insurance, $5,000 from McDonald’s of Saipan, a YETI cooler from Boarderline, and vehicles from Atkins Kroll Saipan and Triple J Motors.
The tournament, which is the signature event of the NMC Foundation, aims to raise funds for the college for its rebuilding and reconstruction efforts. Following the devastation and destruction of Super Typhoon Soudelor and Yutu, the college has been aggressively seeking funds from all available sources to rebuild classrooms, offices, labs, and workforce spaces for the CNMI community. The college is seeking the CNMI private sector’s support through fundraising events like the golf tournament.
Interested companies and individuals who would like to help the college with its rebuilding efforts can donate educational tax credit, cash, or in-kind contributions by visiting www.marianas.edu/golf or by contacting NMC Foundation Coordinator Carla Sablan at [email protected] or (670) 237-6780.
Golfers who would like to register for the upcoming tournament can also visit www.marianas.edu/golf/. Only online payments are accepted.
