Nov. 4, 2010 — Manny “Nogy” Noguera won his second consecutive and third over-all Golfer-of-the-Year Award at the conclusion of this year’s DLS Greens Tour at the October tournament held at Santa Clara Golf and Tennis Club.

Manny scored a clutch 81 gross and 6-under par net 66 to overtake erstwhile GOY leader Bobby Panlasigue for the year’s title. Bobby, who scored an impressive gross 87 and net 69 at the same tournament, was leading Manny by 10 GOY points at the start of the October tournament after winning the penultimate tournament at Deer Ridge Golf Club in Brentwood.

The organizers shook up the GOY points this year by awarding more points to the Top 5 net scorers of the tournament regardless of (Masters and Classics) division. The tournament winner gets 150 points while the next top four placers are awarded descending points in increments of 20. Per previous practice, tournament participants automatically earn 50 points. In previous years, the tournament winner was awarded 100 GOY points and the next top four finishers were awarded descending points in increments of 10.

Manny was one of only four DLS Greens golfers who participated in all of the eight tournaments held this  year. The 100% participation served him well since his closest pursuers missed 1 or 2 of the year’s tournaments. Bobby missed the July tournament in Crystal Springs Golf Club while third-placerIrvin Sevilla missed consecutive tournaments last summer at Poppy Hills and Palo Alto Golf Clubs. The GOY award was well-deserved nevertheless since Manny either won or placed in the Top 5 in four of the year’s eight tournaments. Monching Dumancas and Clem Yu rounded-up the Top 5 for this year’s GOY standings.
