The Tierra Del Sol Golf Tournament
The Tierra Del Sol Golf Tournament over the weekend was pronounced a great success. Sponsors HUGO BOSS & Cuba's Cooking restaurant, were both extremely happy with the turnout and intend to double that performance next year. In total, 87 persons signed up for the two day event.
The event is reported to have been the largest First-Time tourney in the history of Tierra Del Sol. More than 30% of the players came from Venezuela and stayed at the Wyndham Aruba Resort & Casino, which was a notable off-season feat. Insiders report the two days delivered a tremendous amount of fun.
Special thanks goes to Cory McKin (golf pro at TDS) who has been an example of great management and has gone overboard to make sure that everyone had a great time and that the technical aspects of the tournament were run as they should be. His efforts and conduct were recognized by both sponsors. Players report the golf course is in magnificent condition and that the service and the attention to detail, were impeccable.
The tourney wrapped up Sunday night with award ceremonies and a BBQ. The BOSS team of Antonio Lozada and Aureliano Chopitea made an excellent showing. So did local husband and wife team the van Schaijk and golf partners Breuninger & Leonard. Charles Croes, the HUGO BOSS man on the island wanted the honors of being in last place, but was only able to secure second to last.
Attorney Andin Bikker won a HUGO BOSS sports watch for his outstanding "Shoot-out"(closest to the marker shot.)
