MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao took a swing with a golf club at Wack Wack?s fabled east course yesterday then ended up signing boxing gloves for a charitable cause.
The 33-year-old congressman showed up late for his 7:30 a.m. tee time but made up for it by staying much longer than he was supposed to.
Pacquiao was joined in his flight by the great Frankie Mi?oza and his golf buddies Eric Pineda, Jake Joson and Lito Camo. They teed off on hole No. 1.
It was a shaky start for the world-famous boxer who hadn?t played golf for three months. But he had so much fun playing the sport he loves so much.
He didn?t keep score.
There was so much banter during the round as Pacquiao?s buddies played their own money game. Mi?oza joined the fun and shared the laughter a few times.
?Pustahan sila eh. Pero hindi ako sumali,? said Pacquiao, who had given up gambling since he got hooked on Bible studies since late last year.
After the round, Pacquiao graced the awarding ceremonies for yesterday?s Pro-Am event. He was joined in the table by Wack Wack president Philip Ella Juico.
