Initially, the officers were Don Lopez (President), Chris Bacucang (Treasurer), Roland Santos (Secretary), Doc Torrevillas (PRO) and Gaddee Soriano (Captain). Original members were Alex Setosta, Benny de Guzman, Pong Mendoza, Benjie Franco, Art Stabarbara, Jun Mendoza, Ted Ramos, Rene Apacionado and (E and OE).

In June 1996 Fil-Oz took the initiative of organizing the first Philippine Independence golf cup at Dunheved Golf club. In June 1999 the name of the tournament was changed to Kalayaan Cup through the instigation of then Consul General Ariel Abadilla. In June 2002, Philippine Airlines started donating airfares to Manila for the champion and for raffle. Hence, the naming right was given to PAL and it was changed to PAL Kalayaan Cup golf tournament, now on its 13th year. Supporters of this tournament include golfers from Thai Social golf club, Samoan & Fiji golf clubs, golfers from other Asean consulates and the Filipino-Australian community.
