Last week from the 23rd to the 27th of April, Casa de Campo’s annual golf tournament, the “Spring Shootout” was played across the resorts 3 golf courses; the Teeth of the Dog, the Dye Fore and Links.
The fiercely competitive and super exciting “Casa de Campo Spring Shootout” golf tournament, which puts players on the spot by forcing the finalists to compete 1 on 1 to be crowned the overall champion, took place over 3 days, with the more than 100 Casa de Campo golfers divided into different “flights” for the men and the ladies.
[A “flight” is a term for a division of golfers within a golf tournament. Each “flight,” or division, consists of golfers of roughly similar skills (determined by handicaps).]
And so across the 3 days, all competitors played 1 round on each of the 3 golf courses (3 rounds / 54 holes in total) and following the final round rather than the scores being tallied to announce the winners – the scores were tallied to determine the finalists – who then went head to head for the final SHOOTOUT!
The SHOOTOUT, being the most important part of the contest was then played out on Casa de Campo’s most famous golf course; the Teeth of the Dog. The finalists of the men’s gross division, the men’s net division, the ladies net division and the ladies gross division each played 4 holes, and as each hole was played, more and more of the finalists were eliminated (with growing anticipation and excitement) until on the4th hole a winner from each group was declared. These final 4 then with everyone watching and cheering them on played the final SHOOTOUT on hole #9 and the overall men’s and ladies champions were proclaimed!
The Casa de Campo Spring Shootout winners were… Bruce Van Hesteren and Ana Berenguer
The Casa de Campo Spring Shootout runners-up were… Joaquin Alemany and Laneyl Owens
