EVENT REVIEWS:
To commemorate
its 10th Anniversary, the Montecristo Cup Charity Pro-Am golf tournament
returned to its original venue – the world-class Casa de Campo resort
in La Romana, Dominican Republic. The event, which took place December
3rd through 7th, 2008, was hosted by cigar giant Altadis U.S.A.
and was expected to attract nearly 150 amateurs and leading professional
golfers from the PGA Champions Tour. The tournament was played over
three days at the renowned Teeth of the Dog and Dye Fore courses.
Proceeds from the tournament, as in previous years, will benefit
the World of Montecristo Relief Organization, which was founded
by Altadis U.S.A. in 1998 to provide aid for victims of natural
disasters in the Caribbean and elsewhere. To date, the Relief Organization
has raised nearly $3 million to rebuild homes, schools, medical
facilities and provide economic opportunities.
The event attracts amateur golfers and cigar lovers from all over
the United States and as far away as Europe. Many of the top professionals
from the Champions Tour will be participating including 2005 Player
of the Year Dana Quigley, tour stars Jim Thorpe and Alan Doyle and
Brett Quigley from the PGA Tour. Pros and amateurs alike have called
the Montecristo Cup “the best Pro-Am on the planet!” Terrific food
and drink, the finest luxury cigars and great camaraderie both on
and off the golf course ensure an unforgettable experience. Most
participants return year after year.
Altadis U.S.A. has announced that the Annual Montecristo Cup Charity
Pro Am has raised more than $175,000 to help hurricane victims in
the Caribbean and the United States rebuild their lives. The event
was held at the Hyatt Dorado Beach Resort and Country Club in Puerto
Rico.
Over 100 amateurs and professional golfers from the Champions Tour
took part in the tournament, played over three days on the famed Dorado
Beach East Course. Altadis U.S.A. hosted the event. Cigar Aficionado
Magazine was a co-host. Sponsors and contributors included Cadillac,
NetJets, Hyatt and Foster’s Wine Estates.
Proceeds from the tournament, as in previous years, benefit the World
of Montecristo Relief Organization, which was founded by Altadis U.S.A.
in 1998 to provide aid for hurricane victims in the Caribbean. In
2005, in addition to providing relief to the stricken areas in the
Caribbean, Altadis U.S.A. and the Montecristo Relief Organization
combined to donate over $1,000,000 to the American Red Cross to help
victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The event attracted amateur golfers and cigar lovers from all over
the U.S. and as far away as Europe. Many of the top pros on the Champions
Tour attended, including 2005 Player of the Year Dana Quigley and
Team Te-Amo. Amateurs and pros have called the Montecristo Cup the
best pro am they ever played in! Spectacular weather, great food and
drink and free-flowing luxury cigars ensure an unforgettable experience.
But perhaps most important is the fun and camaraderie enjoyed both
on and off the golf course. Pros and amateurs golf, dine, socialize
and enjoy the casino and nightlife together. Lasting friendships have
been made. Most participants return year after year.
Amateur foursomes played with a different professional each day. Closest-to-the-pin
prizes were awarded every day, as were trophies for the first, second
and third place finishers. At Saturday night’s final banquet, the
overall winners, based on total score for the three days, were honored.
Two amateur foursomes tied for first place: John Manning, Gary Scott,
Tim Morris and John Gleber and Jim Colucci, Devon Quigley, Paul Del
Rossi and Abdiel Ortiz.
