The 73rd Fil-Am Golf Invitational fires off today with the seniors and regulars in the lower divisions playing first at the Baguio Country Club and Camp John Hay courses in Baguio City

The battle for the Fil A division title is wide open with a new set of winners to be awarded as last year's champ and runner up, Camp John Hay and Hotel Bahia, have been reclassified into the B division.

In Am-A, Baguio Blue Bloods will aim for back-to-back success although it will face a tough competition against teams such as local club Camp John Hay, Benlife Seniors and Greenwater Meadows.

Squads in the premier championship divisions, including chief rivals Manila Southwoods and Luisita, will commence play beginning on 26 November.

Meanwhile, the ceremonial tee off took place Friday with BCPO City Director P/Col Francisco Bulwayan, Chino Raymundo, Fil Am co-chairman Anthony de Leon (BCC) and Jude Eustaquio (CJHGC), Board of Trustees Jojo Ozaeta, Ely Lagman and Freddie Mendoza in attendance.
