The Bukas Loob sa Diyos (BLD) Catholic Charismatic Covenant Community will conduct its 4th Golf Tournament for a Cause on May 16, 2026, at Apo Golf and Country Club. The event carries the theme “Palo para sa Kinabukasan” to support the Scholarship of Hope (SOH) program.
Announcement at DSA Forum
Guest speakers Chito Nacum and Hans Tagabucba announced the tournament during the Davao City Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum on April 23 at the Annex of SM City Davao. Organizers expect 150 to 180 golfers to participate.
Tournament Format and Prizes
The competition will use a Modified Stableford format with a double-barrel shotgun start, allowing all players to tee off simultaneously. A custom-designed championship trophy will be awarded to the overall net champion. The trophy features a golfer in mid-swing atop a black base, symbolizing skill and achievement, with a plaque for the winner.
Major prizes include a motorcycle and a split-type air conditioner. A hole-in-one challenge will be staged at 125 to 130 yards. If no player completes the shot, the prize will be awarded through a raffle.
Registration Details
Registration costs PHP 4,500 per player, with PHP 2,000 returned as gift certificates upon check-in and PHP 500 allotted for a mulligan. Registration opens at 5:30 a.m., and the awards ceremony is scheduled at 4:30 p.m. at the same venue.
Supporting Education
Beyond the competition, BLD continues to support disadvantaged children through education. Nacum noted that the group currently sponsors about 50 scholars, aged 7 to 12, most of whom are children of fisherfolk in Davao City’s coastal communities. “Our community helps address poverty by offering scholarships to underprivileged children,” Nacum said. “We provide free tuition, school supplies, uniforms, transportation assistance, and daily allowances.”
Aligned with the theme, organizers are urging participants to give back through the call: “Palo ninyo para sa kinabukasan ng mga bata.” Tagabucba emphasized, “This event is more than just golf and fellowship, it is an offering of love. Every swing helps a child stay in school and build a better future.”
Organizers invite golfers across Davao City to join the charity event and support the Scholarship of Hope program.
