Ireneo Legaspi was a Filipino professional golfer who regularly campaigned in the Asian golf circuit from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s.

Known to close friends and family as "Boyong", Legaspi played the tour with many other notable Filipino golfers of that period such as Ben Arda. The highlight of his career was winning the Malaysian Open in 1967.

He also won several tournaments in the Philippine golf circuit as well which regularly placed him at the top ten Filipino golfers list at his peak in the 1970s.

Though he was not very long off the tee, he was quite a solid ball striker and an excellent putter who performed consistently well in many of the tournaments he played in -- both internationally and in the Philippines.

Unfortunately, health problems took him out of the active professional circuit and he spent his later years teaching the game to numerous students -- including free, private lessons to several children in his hometown of Pasig. He continued as a teaching professional until his passing in 2006.
