More than 200 teams vie in Forest Hills Invitational golf tilt

The Forest Hills Golf Club will host more than 200 two-man teams in the member-guest Invitational slated on May 19-22, an event that will serve as the club’s kickoff heading up to its grand celebration for its 25th year anniversary in November.

The four-day tournament, sponsored by Golforce and Megaforce Security, is actually just one of the many activities lined up for the year. Also penciled in the launch of a coffee-table book, a Jubilee Pro-Am and the Chairman’s Cup later this year.

“We have prepared a lot of big and small events for our members as a way of thanking them for their trust through the years,” said Forest Hills Chairman Atty. Ferdinand T. Santos, who is one of the pioneers when the club opened in 1997.

Each team in the Invitational will play two days, depending on their preferred schedule and the following course formats: best ball at Palmer and aggregate at Nicklaus.

“It’s going to be exciting as they vie for the top prizes and wonderful raffle prizes during the awards zoom ceremony,” said General Manager Raymond Bunquin.
