Last Saturday the 1st of May the La Estancia Golf resort held it’s 3rd Annual La Estancia Golf Classic Tournament and despite the heat – it was a fabulous day!
The Tournament involved 2 days of golf, 2 dinners, a brunch and even a party and so for the golfers involved was a fun-packed and tiring 2 days!
On Friday the 30th of April the fun started with a ‘pool’ tournament played on the beautiful P.B Dye designed La Estancia golf course, which was followed by a delicious dinner. Unfortunately, due to school commitments (boo) and having to go to the Dominican Republic Fashion Week (yeah!), I was unable to attend this section of the event.
For me and my partner (who I had duped into thinking I could play golf) the tournament began on Saturday morning the 1st of May (a little too early for my liking).
La Estancia had organised a brunch complete with fruit, toast, croissants, bread, cheese and meats which was served on the La Estancia club house terrace, which was superbly decked out and ready for the party in the evening.
The tournament was officially started with a reading of the rules (boo) and then Augusto Avanzini started it all by driving a ball from the Club house backwards down hole #18.
As there were so many players involved, the tournament was played in a shotgun format and we had 8 people starting on our tee – which happened to be sponsored by Casa de Campo Living! Woohoo!
Here I am posing at hole #12 / Casa de Campo Living’s hole – and yes I know I must keep my eye on the ball!
As this was Casa de Campo Living’s hole, I took photo’s of everyone teeing off – great swing gentlemen!
