We are now in preparations to hold the first ever International Golf Marathon, which will be held on December 9, 2011 at Club Intramuros in Manila, Philippines. Instead of the usual 18 holes golf tournament (that takes almost the whole day anyway), participants will be playing 36 (minimum), 54, or 72 holes in one day! Because of the unique concept of this tournament, the event promises to attract much buzz and attention. Different golf groups have already expressed their excitement over the event and we expect more to join the bandwagon. (Some are in disbelief that 54 or 72 holes can be played in one day, but with the Club Intramuros' night golf, it is possible to play from morning to night.) For as low as P5,500 you can play 36 holes. Join us in this pioneering golfing event that will attract true-blue golfing aficionados and even weekend/tournament players looking for that ultimate golf experience story that they can share with their children and grandchildren ("Your Lolo once played 72 holes in one day!"). Send back the reg form below through email (golfmarathon@saltandlight.ph). You can also call 813-2703/32, or text GOLF with your name, email address and landline to +63922 8980044.

The scoring format is Stableford/Molave, in which the object of the game is to get the highest score. In Stableford, golfers are awarded points based on their scores in relation to a fixed score at each hole. The fixed score in the tournament is BOGEY. More than 2 over fixed score or TRIPLE BOGEY or worse - 1 point Fixed score or BOGEY - 2 points One under fixed score or PAR - 3 points Two under fixed score or BIRDIE - 4 points Three under fixed score or EAGLE/HOLE-IN-ONE - 5 points Four under fixed score or DOUBLE EAGLE - 6 points How will I be even able to finish 54, or even 72 holes? Because of the Stableford format wherein players must pick up their balls when playing triple bogey, the estimated time to finish 36 holes is 3 to 3. 5 hours. That is why our schedule is as follows: First round: 6AM Second round: 10AM Third round: 2PM Fourth round: 6PM There will be a shotgun start for each round. Where is the venue? (image from pinoygolfer.com) The tournament will be held at Club Intramuros, which is the oldest golf course in the country. Because Club Intramuros has night golf, you can enjoy doing 72 holes from dawn till dusk.
