MANILA, Philippines — Several players and coaches have turned to golf as one of their go-to activities inside the bubble in Clark, Pampanga.

Playing golf has become part of their routine with the 130-hectare course exclusive to PBA delegates every Monday.

The likes of Rain or Shine swingman James Yap and NLEX guard  Kiefer Ravena have already given it a swing while Blackwater coach Nash Racela and San Miguel Beer assistant Jorge Gallent are not missing out on the fun either.

To keep the bubble-free from the virus, players are required to scan the facility’s QR code using the StaySafe.ph contact tracing application before entering the golf course.

Teams are also to undergo mandatory COVID-19 testing every two weeks.

Aside from playing golf, delegates can also play billiards, go swimming and spend time in the gaming room inside the hotel.

The Philippine Cup resumes on Sunday at Angeles University Foundation gym.
