NGAP Pueblo de Oro Amateur

Pueblo de Oro Golf and Country Club recently had the honour of welcoming key representatives from the R&A and the National Golf Association of the Philippines (NGAP) during their visit, which coincided with the much-anticipated JunGolf Open House last March 15, 2025.

This significant event placed a spotlight on collaborative efforts to develop the next generation of Filipino golfers and elevate the sport’s presence throughout the country—particularly in Cagayan de Oro. The visit not only reaffirmed the growing importance of grassroots programs in regional golf development but also highlighted CDO’s emerging role as a hub for nurturing local talent.

The delegation was led by distinguished leaders from both organizations:
Mr. Martin Lorenzo, President of NGAP
Mr. Valeriano “Bones” L. Floro II, Secretary General of NGAP
Mr. Phil Anderton, R&A Head of Global Development

Their presence underscored a unified commitment to expanding opportunities for young golfers, enhancing training standards, and bringing global perspectives into local programs.

As Pueblo de Oro continues to support initiatives that grow the game at the grassroots level, this visit marked a meaningful step forward in connecting local efforts with international golf development frameworks.

With such strong backing from national and global golf authorities, the future of golf in Cagayan de Oro—and the Philippines as a whole—looks brighter than ever.
