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.
