From Wednesday the 1st to Saturday the 4th of August 2012, the world famous Pete Dye designed courses; Teeth of the Dog and the Dye Fore in Casa de Campo, hosted the 1st Cuban Invitational, an innovative tournament organized by the Casa de Campo golf department and directed by Raúl Cendoya – an event which ended with a spirited prize-giving ceremony and dinner at the Beach Club by Le Cirque restaurant on Minitias Beach!
The 1st edition of the Cuban Invitational welcomed a great number of Cuban golfers (including many members of the Cuban-American Golf Association in the USA), as well as many Casa de Campo residents and owners who, despite the bad weather that brought torrential rain on the last day of the tournament, enjoy great company and great golf!
Sadly, due to bad weather was definitely the last rounds planned to be played on Saturday the 4th of August on the Dye Fore golf course were cancelled, however the rain did not stop the “party”! At the Beach Club by Le Cirque on Minitas Beach participants enjoyed a wonderful dinner accompanied by the delights of Cuban, Dominican and Latin hits played by three talented guitarists.
Here we bring you the names of the lucky winners – who received beautiful stainless steel pictures of different holes of both the Teeth of the Dog and Dye Fore golf courses in Casa de Campo:
