THE DAY BIRDIES FLEW HIGH AND RAFFLE TICKETS SOLD OUT

No tickets were sold and there was actually no champion's cup. 

After all, it was strictly a "by invitation" tournament among brothers and close friends organized by the Lodge to raise funds for the continuing construction of its Masonic temple. 

The Lodge is thankful to all the sponsors who supported the 3rd edition of its Temple Cup golf tournament, and to Bros. Eduardo Sayco and Amidon Nicolas who made it possible. 


And that's the story why several gentlemen braved the high noon sun at the Capitol Hills Golf and Country Club to confront all 18 holes of the golf course. 





Later after the post-tournament reception at Gerry's Grill as the whiskey bottles were opened, the sponsors lined up and filled Model Lodge's cup with their generosity.



Meanwhile 113 kilometers away at the Manrio Bowling Lanes where most of the Lodge's members stayed for Day 3 of the District Bowling Tournament, the remaining raffle tickets sold like there is no tomorrow.


District Deputy Grand Master Jerome Malaca picked the winning ticket and made one brother a happy owner of a brand new Acer Aspire Switch 10 lap top.



Back in Quezon City, the Lodge team to the golf tournament emptied their whiskey glasses and said their good byes.

Those at the bowling tournament in Cabanatuan City finished their last pizza and beer.

They all slept late that night but with the happy reassurance that the Temple works will continue, and that they might actually move into their new home within the year...
