Charity Golf Raises $3000 For Seniors
Seventy golfers raised about $3000 last weekend, in the Costa Rica Global Association of Realtors’ Eighth Annual Charity Golf Tournament.
Proceeds from this year’s event will go towards a public senior retirement home in Santa Cruz, Guanacaste.
“It was a very good turnout,” said CRGAR’s President, Sarah Myers, adding the day had attracted about 30 more players than last year.

“We had people coming from all over the place.”
Players took part in a shotgun scramble format — a style which “allows those with little or no golf experience to play and have a fun weekend”, event organizers said.
The team with the lowest gross, going around the 18 holes in 53, was Don Van Akkeren, Gabe Bettinsoli, Greg Mullins and Stephen Aler. First, once rounds had been netted, finishing with a card of 43 were Steve Islas, Grant McLean, Steve Twin and Robert Twain.
The longest drive by a woman was Debbie Maue and the longest by a man, by Robert Twain. Mark Peterson was the closest to the pin, on hole 15.
