To officially commence the tournament, the ceremonial tee-off was led by distinguished guests, including Jordan Tan of the Manila Bulletin; Bobby Zamora, Rotary District Governor of District 3800; Jun Farcon, Rotary Past District Governor and Endowment and Major Gifts Adviser for Zone 10A; and Celso Montalla, Rotary District Governor nominee of District 3800. Larry Secreto, the country head of Harman Philippines, also joined the traditional activity.

The tournament featured a stellar lineup of players, with an exciting mix of professional and amateur golfers competing for the coveted title. The lush fairways and challenging course conditions created an exhilarating contest, keeping spectators on the edge of their seats throughout the competition.

The event exuded a competitive yet friendly spirit, with participants navigating a meticulously designed course that tested their skills while allowing them to enjoy the scenic beauty of the location. Golfers could be seen using their JBL Soundgear Frames on the fairways, enhancing their experience with immersive audio without isolating them from their surroundings—making them an ideal companion on the course.

Additionally, many players brought their JBL speakers mounted on their golf carts, providing a seamless audio experience while moving across the course.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, attendees enjoyed lively band performances and took part in the JBL raffle, where they had the chance to win JBL products, golf-related prizes, and the grand reward—a brand-new Vespa S125! The vibrant event was further complemented by delicious food and drinks, ensuring that players and guests were energized throughout the day.

“We are thrilled with the success of this year’s JBL Cup Golf Tournament. The level of talent displayed, combined with the enthusiastic support from everyone, made for an unforgettable event,” said Secreto. “We look forward to making next year’s tournament even bigger and better.”
