The Bahamas Professional Golf Tour’s (BPGT) Hillshire Farms Classic by Asa H. Pritchard is set to get underway on Sunday, November 26, at Baha Mar resort’s Royal Blue Golf Course. Tee-off time is set for 2 p.m.
Founder of the tour, Riccardo Davis, is happy to have Hillshire Farms on board.
It was an exciting start to the BPGT season, when Davis secured the victory at the BPGT Classic in September after some drama on hole 18 ensued between him and David Harris.
Nolan Johnson won the amateur division in the Classic, while Christopher Callendar won the junior division. All three division champions will be back in the Hillshire Farms Classic to defend their title.
Playing at the Royal Blue Golf Course, Davis and Harris finished their round tied at two-over par 74 and needed a playoff to break the tie. After they were tied at the end of the first round of playoff, Davis’ short game helped him to hold off a fierce Harris to start the season off with a bang, as he made a birdie on that second playoff hole. Harris had to settle for second.
As mentioned earlier, golfers of all skill levels can participate whether they are a professional, amateur or junior, as they will each have their own category to compete in. There are great prizes in each division and golfers are encouraged to come out and give support to the professionals and those striving to reach the professional level, as they hone their skills to excel professionally.
Sponsors include Bahamas Waste, Breezes Resorts, Royal Blue Golf Club, R & E Imports & Sales, Sun Tee, Signature Events and Wild Flowers.
