History

The Game starts in the land where it is played. This is the game of gold, a gentleman’s game based on the highest ethical standards of integrity, fairness and truthfulness.
Anchored on these objectives and on the close bonding of a group of 36 avid golfers, thus was born,one of the youngest Rotary Club of Makati , that is, Paseo de Roxas, eighteen years ago, on May 23, 1990.
Playing as godfather and emissary of then District Governor Herman Gamboa, Rotarian Ben Domingo, who is also an ardent golfer, invited the group composed of businessmen, corporate officers and budding tycoons to a simple dinner, one weekend, after a round of golf in Baguio.
The dinner was Godfather Ben’s and Past District Governor Herman’s ingenous plan to entice the loosely-held group, whose commn denominator was golf, to form the newest Rotary Club in Makati.
Over dinner, the two painstakingly explained the objective of a Rotary Club, which are basically moored on the same objectives of playing golf; truthfulness, fostering goodwill and better friendships, and the development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
Thus, is not surprising to see a cross golf clubs under the Rotary whell on the banner of the Rotary Club of Makati – Paseo de Roxas as well as the Golfer’s Prayer in its souvenir programs.
From that fruitful dinner almost 2 decades past, the Rotary Club of Makati – Paseo de Roxas has grown in terms of reaching out to those in need, working hard to achieve peace and unity, and promoting goodwill and friendship.¬
