Golfers Plan Ahead for CRGAR Tournament

By: Helen Dunn Frame
The Costa Rica Global Association of REALTORS® (CRGAR) has scheduled its next Golf Tournament and Fundraising Weekend for April 6-7, 2012. The golf tournament and awards luncheon will return to the Reserva Conchal Golf Club and Beach Club on Saturday. The tournament will be preceded by a Welcome Party the night before at a location to be announced.

The CRGAR Golf Tournament is one of the few times each year for non-members to enjoy the challenges of the Reserva Conchal course and the beauty of the private club. The tournament was purposely scheduled during Semana Santa (Easter Week) this year to attract a capacity of 104 golfers from all over, many who traditionally vacation at the beach during this major holiday in Costa Rica.

CRGAR Board Member and Weekend Co-Chair, Lindsey Cantillo noted “The Tournament and Welcome Party are also great opportunities for our supporters to gain recognition by sponsoring holes, tees, golf achievement, the events themselves, or by becoming the Named Sponsor for the entire weekend.”

Check in will be in the Pro-Shop of the Reserva Conchal Golf Club on Saturday, April 7, 2012 prior to tee off at 7:30AM with a Scramble Start.  Two teams of three persons each will tee off together.  Golfers must register handicaps in advance.  

The tournament fee, to be announced, will include incentives for early registration, a Continental Breakfast, golf cart; ice, beverages and snacks on the course, Mojitos after the tournament, the Awards Luncheon, and Trophies.  Non-golfers may purchase luncheon tickets separately at a price to be determined. A portion of the funds raised will be contributed to local educational programs.
